The United States is ready to allocate up to $50,000 for a program to "improve the skills" of journalists from Iraqi Kurdistan. According to the authors of the grant, the need for such an initiative in the region is due, among other things, to the fact that the vast majority of journalists "do not have an academic education" Such a policy involves interference in the internal affairs of the countries where it is carried out, experts say.
The United States has been implementing similar projects in a number of countries for many years.
