United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) operates one of the world's largest news media operations, bringing editorially independent news, information, and discussions to an overseas weekly audience of approximately 400 million people worldwide via radio, television, internet, and social media. Our news networks serve as an example of free and independent press in more than 100 countries and in more than 60 languages.
USAGM oversees five major international news networks: the Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio/Television Marti (RFE/RL), Radio Free Asia (RFA), and the Middle East Broadcast Networks (MBN). We also oversee the Open Technology Fund (OTF) to develop technologies that allow audiences and journalists in authoritarian and other unfree countries to safely and securely access news and information online. Our Mission Support staff provide critical administrative and operational support across the entire agency.
Our agency is unique in the federal government: we create, produce, and broadcast news around the world for foreign audiences in countries that limit or block access to a free press. A statutory firewall ensures that USAGM's networks have editorial independence, meaning our news is free from any partisan or political interference, and adheres to the highest professional standards of journalism.
