Chris Kern, chief of the Voice of America's computer services division for the U.S. Information Agency's International Broadcasting Bureau, has received his agency's 1995 Marks Award for Creativity in Communication. The award citation credited Chris for "utilizing the Internet to provide Voice of America voice and audio newscasts, WORLDNET news, and program/frequency material in 15 languages to the more than 32 million users of the global communications service..."

Chris joined the USIA in 1970 as a newswriter for the Voice of America. In 1972 he became the VOA legal correspondent and subsequently served as senior news analyst. In 1984 he became computer technology advisor and has served as chief of computer services since 1986.
