WASHINGTON —
A plaque honoring Voice of America's headquarters in Washington as a historic site in journalism was unveiled Thursday, with current and former newsroom leaders present to affirm the importance of the outlet's editorial independence.
The Society of Professional Journalists, or SPJ, designated VOA's Washington headquarters as a historic journalism site in 2022 and formally handed over the plaque on Thursday.
"We chose VOA because of its long history of ethical and independent journalism," Dan Kubiske, a board member of SPJ's Washington chapter, told VOA at the event.
This is the eighth time SPJ has honored a historic journalism site in the Washington area, according to Kubiske.
