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.
