Gessen and Ragona say Russian media reports of Korn's departure from RFE/RL are nothing but rumors, insiders disagree

Dozens of Russian media outlets have reported that the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), the U.S. federal agency in charge of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), has asked RFE/RL president and CEO Steven Korn to leave his post, but Korn’s closest aides, the Russian Service director Masha Gessen and RFE/RL vice president for content Julia Ragona claim these are only rumors.
Komersant newspaper in Russia quotes Gessen as saying that “there is no talk of resignation, it’s just a rumor.”
Gessen told Izvestia, another Russian newspaper, that she spoke Tuesday with Julia Ragona in Prague who told her that these are just rumors and that Steven Korn will be returning to work after the New Year.
Korn sent a happy holidays email message to RFE/RL staff and announced that he will be back after the New Year.
In her latest Russian media interview, Gessen again downplayed reports that the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) had ordered a complete re-evaluation of what was done at Radio Liberty, suggesting that such reviews are routine, but her denials of the significance of the proposed review were not as categorical as before.

“The different interpretations revolve around whether to call it an inspection or a review. In English it is called a review. There are also different interpretations concerning what this group will do in Russia. Whether the study of what has been done at the radio including the consequences of the reforms that have been introduced or the study of the situation in Russia. As I understand myself, the inspection will be devoted to the situation in Russia and the [search of a] strategy for developing the radio in the future. Somebody assumes that it will be devoted to the reforms carried out. The future will tell. Probably the group will do whatever it deems necessary.”

Despite denials from Ragona and Gessen, sources tell BBG Watch that BBG members have indeed asked Steven Korn to resign and stripped him of  authority to fire any more RFE/RL employees.
BBG member Victor Ashe described Gessen’s earlier comments downplaying the significance of the review of Radio Liberty as “stunning” and “totally untrue.” He also questioned suggestions by RFE/RL executives, including comments from RFE/RL vice president for administration Dale Cohen, that BBG members were greatly impressed with Gessen’s presentation at the last week’s BBG panel discussion on Russia.
BBG insiders tell BBG Watch that there is no doubt that Korn is on his way out. They see attacks by Gessen, Ragona, and Cohen on American NGO leaders and former Radio Liberty journalists as attempts to divert attention from themselves for creating the greatest crisis in the history of U.S. international broadcasting and to present their critics to BBG members as being misinformed opponents of progress, which has been their strategy for discrediting their critics all along.
Freedom House President David Kramer specifically refuted Ragona’s statements to RFE/RL staff that he had been misinformed earlier and that after participating in the panel discussion in Washington he has modified his  criticism of the station’s management.
Kramer said in response: “Not only have I not changed my views on how bad the situation is at RFE/RL, I came away from the BBG panel more worried than I went in and more convinced than ever that it needs radical change at the top.”  “The comments I heard suggest to me that nothing short of major change is required, meaning a complete housecleaning of the top leadership. The damage they have done is immeasurable,” Kramer concluded.
Ragona has not responded to a BBG Watch request for a comment about her remarks on Kramer and the fate of Steven Korn.
In earlier, much more confident sounding Russian media interviews, Gessen attacked heads of American NGOs, including Ann Noonan, executive director of the Committee for U.S. International Broadcasting (CUSIB – cusub.org), who at an open BBG meeting in Washington last week defended the fired Radio Liberty journalists and specifically criticized Korn for dismissing fully qualified employees with disabilities. Gessen also said that Freedom House president David Kramer was not criticizing Steven Korn  but only the loss of the station’s reputation in Russia, which, according to her, was inevitable because of  “reforms.”
In her latest Russian media interviews, Gessen sounded less confident, but she continued to use the word “reform” to describe her role, as do Julia Ragona and Dale Cohen while accusing anyone who disagrees with them as being enemies of digital media — a useful accusation totally unsupported by facts.
Korn, Gessen, and Ragona also continue to accuse the old Radio Liberty team of being unqualified to do digital media despite clear evidence that  the fired journalists are far more experienced in  digital media than Gessen’s new team. The old team, which included many multimedia specialists, had greatly increased the number of site visitors and won awards for their online reporting.
 

 OLD RADIO LIBERTY INTERNET TEAM GETS SAKHAROV AWARD

Old Radio Liberty - Fired Internet team and its reporter Elena Vlasenko receive Andrei Sakharov human rights journalism award for online reporting.


Many headlines in Russian media on December 25 suggest that Korn was fired or asked to resign for destroying Radio Liberty’s Russian Service team in Moscow. The old Internet team has recently won a Sakharov human rights journalism award for online reporting done by  its members before their dismissal in September. They were replaced by Gessen and her associates, many of whom — according to Russian media reports — lack political news reporting skills and multimedia experience.
Gessen declared the Sakharov human rights journalism awards to be “a low-profile event in Russia” and refused to cover it while continuing to fill the Radio Liberty home page with feature stories, such as romantic escapades of a university professor from the United States who traveled to Argentina to meet an attractive woman he got acquainted with online. The story, which was already weeks old when it was posted by Radio Liberty, stayed on the home page for many days, while some current important political news stories were not covered or reported on with considerable delays.
Ms. Gessen should truly be ashamed of herself for saying that a journalistic award named after Dr. Andrei Sakharov, one of the greatest fighters for human rights in the Soviet Union, is a low-profile event in a country where independent journalists are routinely murdered, arrested, intimidated, and threatened with libel lawsuits. By refusing to cover these awards, Ms. Gessen helped President Putin and his state-controlled media to marginalize the Sakharov awards even further. Indeed, she helped Putin to make it a lower-profile event that it otherwise would have been. This, no doubt, made Putin happy, but BBG members and American taxpayers, who pay Gessen’s $200,000 salary and housing allowance in Moscow, perhaps less so. What a shame that Ms. Gessen believes that sexual adventures of a university professor from America are more important for the Russians to know about than journalism in defense of human rights.
 

NEW RADIO LIBERTY OFFERS SEXY STORIES AND IMAGES, SITE VISITS DECLINE

New Radio Liberty - Masha Gessen's redesigned website puts more emphasis on soft stories and sexy images but site visits decline.


Many headlines point out that Korn was fired or asked to resign for destroying the Russian Service of Radio Liberty, but some also blame Masha Gessen.
Many reports also note that Gessen’s redesigned Radio Liberty has lost a large number of visitors. Gessen has also lost  website visitors for her previous employer and had a spotty employment record, but Korn assured BBG members that she was by far the best qualified and the best language-service director in the entire history of RFE/RL — a completely false and misleading claim.
Moskovskie Vedomosti headline says: Masha Gessen expertly ruined Washington’s propaganda horn: President of Radio Liberty dismissed. Маша Гессен мастерски развалила пропагандитский рупор Вашингтона: уволен президент радиостанции «Свобода».
RBK headline says: Masha Gessen destroyed Moscow team of Radio Liberty. Маша Гессен развалила московскую редакцию радио “Свобода”.
Gessen continues to deny that she had anything to do with the mass firings, which happened late September 2012 after her appointment was announced but before she officially came on board on October 1, 2012. She told Izvestia that while she worked for Korn as a consultant in 2012, her “consultancy was not related to personnel matters.” She had previously accused independent Russian journalists of slander for suggesting that she may have had a role in the dismissals to allow her to bring on board her own friends and associates. Among those fired by RFE/RL were fully qualified employees with disabilities. Slander was made a criminal offense in Putin’s Russia and the law is seen as an attempt by the Kremlin to silence free media.
Anybody who had known about Steven Korn’s mad plan to fire most of Radio Liberty Moscow staff and went along with it — and Gessen had to know about it beforehand if she had not actually suggested or demanded it herself, something she denies — makes such a person just as dangerous as a manager at a public U.S. institution like RFE/RL as Mr. Korn, Ms. Ragona, and Mr. Cohen have turned out to be. The idea that Gessen did not know in advance about the firing plan and had nothing to do with it just does not sound plausible to Russian media or anybody else despite her accusations of slander against independent Russian journalists. And of course, Steven Korn, Julia Ragona, and Dale Cohen defend their actions in Moscow even now.
