In this episode of the Back to the People Podcast, host Nicole Shanahan sits down with Weston Sager, a preeminent legal scholar on U.S. state media. The discussion opens with a history lesson on the Smith-Mundt Act, explaining how it was originally designed to prevent U.S. government-funded media content, intended for foreign audiences, from being distributed within the United States to avoid domestic propaganda. The conversation then focuses on the key changes brought by the 2013 Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, signed by President Obama, which lifted the ban on domestic dissemination.
