Voice of America: Recognizing 80 years – and counting – of independent journalism

February 3, 2022

Do publicly funded media and broadcast organizations still have a place in democracies? What challenges do independent, public service media face in a world where democracy is “under siege?”

Has VOA consistently provided independent journalism to its audiences?

Has VOA served as a mouthpiece of the American government or its leaders now, or in the past?

Please join Acting VOA Director Yolanda López and a distinguished panel as we discuss this topic.
