Description

U.S. international broadcasting is intended to communicate directly with audiences in countries with limited journalism alternatives and to inform, engage, and connect people around the world. The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) oversees two U.S. government entities -- Voice of America and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting -- and three nonprofit grantees that act as surrogates for local media -- Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Inc.; Radio Free Asia; and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. In its strategic plan for 2012-2016, BBG recognizes the need to reduce language service overlap. This report reviewed issues related to international broadcasting. It examines the extent to which (1) BBG language services overlap with one another and (2) BBG broadcasts in the same languages as other international broadcasters. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
