At the end of February, Steve Herman, chief national correspondent for the Voice of America, found out that he was on unexpected administrative leave. Thousands of fellow VOA employees were given similar notice this month, and then the VOA fell silent on March 16th. WMRA’s Bob Leweke spoke with Steve to find out what happened at VOA, and what’s next.
The first hearing for a temporary restraining order in the case filed by VOA reporters is scheduled for Friday, March 28th in a federal court in New York.
