白宮確認總統每周廣播講話暫停

The White House confirms the weekly presidential radio address – a fixture for decades – is on indefinite hiatus.

“We received quite a few comments and a lot of feedback that the weekly address wasn't being used to its full potential,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in response to a VOA question during Monday's daily briefing. “We're looking at different ways that we can revamp that and make it where it's more beneficial and gets more information out.”

The last time the White House released a weekly radio recording made by President Donald Trump was on October 13. During the first nine months of his administration he had regularly taped the messages.

Regular presidential radio addresses began with the “fireside chats” of President Franklin Roosevelt during the depth of economic depression in 1933.

Roosevelt had begun using radio to reach the public as governor of New York State at a time when radio broadcasting was a technological revolution.

The tradition was revived by President Ronald Reagan in 1982, a veteran radio announcer and actor, who started the Saturday audio-only addresses from the White House.

白宮確認，實行了幾十年的總統每周廣播講話無限期暫停。

白宮資訊秘書桑德斯在星期一的資訊簡報會上回答美國之音問題時說：“我們收到了一些建議和很多反饋，都說每周講話的使用沒有發揮最大的潛力。我們在研究不同的渠道，希望加以改進，一邊能夠有更大的效果，提供更多的信息。”

白宮上一次公布川普總統的每周講話錄音是10月13號。川普擔任總統頭9個月每周都發布廣播講話的錄音。

總統每周講話始于1933年美國深陷經濟衰退時期羅斯福總統的“爐邊談話”。羅斯福在擔任紐約州長時就開始利用收音機廣播與公眾溝通。當時無線電廣播是一場技術上的革命。

里根總統1982年再次開啟了這個傳統。曾經做過電臺資深廣播員和演員的里根開始每星期六從白宮發表廣播講話。

美國之音聯系了美國各地若干資訊廣播電臺，既有大電臺也有小電臺，它們都不再播放總統的星期六講話。
