  • Here's a look at what Voice of America does ahead of Kari Lake possibly taking over as director under Donald Trump.

The article from USA Today discusses the Voice of America (VOA), a U.S. government-funded international broadcaster established in 1942 to counter Nazi propaganda during World War II. VOA aims to provide accurate, balanced, and comprehensive news coverage to an international audience, promoting freedom and democracy. It broadcasts in more than 40 languages, reaching an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people. The article highlights VOA's role in providing news to regions where press freedom is limited, its commitment to journalistic integrity, and its independence from U.S. domestic political influence, as mandated by its charter. It also touches on recent controversies, including concerns over its editorial independence under different administrations, and its efforts to adapt to the digital age by expanding its online and social media presence.
