Voice of America cut ties with a journalist accused of promoting Russian propaganda before his hiring. At the same time, the U.S.-government-funded news organization announced that it would restore a suspended reporter who faced the same allegation.
The two journalists, Garri “Harry” Knyagnitskiy and Daria Davydova, were hired by VOA in November. They had previously worked for news companies that were either controlled by the Russian government or had close ties with the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The investigation was only launched after other news organizations, including The Washington Post, reported on the employees’ accusations. A group of journalists in Ukraine called Media Movement has also demanded that VOA fire Knyagnitskiy. Davydova, a reporter for VOA’s Russian service, told The Post in a March email exchange that she joined VOA “at a very sensitive moment,” when its Ukrainian journalists and their supporters were “suspicious of anyone who has ever been connected to the Russian government — even indirectly.”
