The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is an independent federal agency that oversees U.S. government-funded international media organizations. Its mission is to inform, engage, and connect people around the world through reliable news and information. USAGM manages several media outlets, including Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which provide news coverage in various languages to audiences in countries with limited press freedom. USAGM aims to promote democratic values and human rights by delivering accurate information to those who may not have access to independent media. The agency plays a crucial role in countering misinformation and fostering a better understanding of U.S. policies and culture globally.
