Sarah B. Rogers, to be Chief Executive Officer of the United States Agency for Global Media

Sarah B. Rogers, a professional from New York, has been nominated to lead the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM). As the proposed Chief Executive Officer, Rogers is positioned to oversee the independent federal agency responsible for all U.S. government-funded civilian international broadcasting, including networks that provide news and information to global audiences.

The role of USAGM CEO is a critical leadership position within the federal government's foreign affairs and public diplomacy apparatus. The agency's mission involves promoting democratic values and providing objective reporting in regions where a free press is restricted. Rogers' nomination comes at a time when the agency continues to navigate its mandate of ensuring the editorial independence and integrity of its various broadcasting networks.

In this capacity, Rogers would be responsible for managing the agency's strategic direction and multi-million dollar budget. The position requires a background capable of balancing administrative oversight with the complexities of international media operations. Her leadership will be central to how the United States communicates its policies and values to international audiences through platforms such as Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
