USAID Media helps citizens and journalists see where U.S. foreign assistance cuts are landing and how those changes are being reported on the ground.
The aim is to connect reduced U.S. disbursements with accounts of emerging local consequences— shortages, stalled programs, adjustments, and political reactions—visible first through national and local journalism. USAID Media is built to help reporters quickly spot patterns, verify impacts, and find new story leads as the fallout continues.
Tracks USAID coverage in US and non-recipient country media outlets. Filter stories by US state, publication, media type, and bias to see how the shutdown is being reported domestically.
Tracks USAID coverage in countries with closed USAID missions. See how affected countries are reporting on the shutdown and its local consequences.
