Eastern Europe's media in the crosshairs after USAID funding freeze

At a Feb. 10 editorial meeting of Hungarian investigative outlet Atlatszo, journalists discussed how they might raise money after their grants from USAID intermediaries were halted amid U.S. President Donald Trump's drive to shutter the agency.

"Without these funds it would be very hard to maintain independent media here (in Hungary)," Atlatszo's managing editor Tamas Bodoky told Reuters, adding that they would seek new donors and try to increase crowdfunding.
