Donald Trump appoints Brent Bozell III as head of US Global Media Agency

President Donald Trump nominated Brent Bozell III as head of the United States Agency for Global Media, which includes five international media entities funded by the U.S. government, including the Voice of America.

Mr. Bozell, a conservative activist and author, is the founder of the Media Research Center, an organization whose mission is to counter what it identifies as liberal bias in the media and everyday culture. His center, MRC, has also challenged technology companies that it says are silencing conservative voices.

A date for Mr. Bozell's confirmation hearing in the Senate has not yet been set. Congress is currently holding hearings on the president's nominees to head federal agencies.

On Platform X, Mr. Bozell said he was honored by the nomination.

"There is much work to be done. I look forward to meeting with senators before the confirmation hearing to discuss finding the best way to ensure that the President's priorities are met," he wrote.

If confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Bozell will lead the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM), an organization that in 2024 operated with a budget of $950 million and oversees several entities engaged in broadcasting news and combating censorship, with a total audience of over 420 million people.
