Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1990, the confluence of three developments provoked a serious policy debate over the place and role of public diplomacy and international broadcasting in the U.S. foreign policy agenda. The first development was the proliferation of communications technologies, especially to parts of the world that had been isolated, because of geography, economics, cultural gaps, or political animosities, from the West generally and the United States in particular. The spread of these technologies created the potential for vastly improved communications with publics that had had little if any exposure to Western ideas, ideals, policies, or institutions. The second development was the spread of democracy (or at least democratic impulses) in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Although the revolutions in these countries were prefaced by social, political, and economic liberalization during the 1980s, the formal replacement of socialist regimes with more democratically oriented ones marked a watershed, the full implications of which we still do not fully understand. These revolutions carried two contradictory implications for public diplomacy and international broadcasting. On the one hand, the increased openness of the formerly socialist societies allowed international broadcasters greater access to both their subject matter (for example, they could interview public officials and other relevant people for the first time in history) and to their audiences (by a switch to medium wave and to some extent frequency-modulated FM frequencies, and by interacting and cooperating with the indigenous media). On the other hand, as the security threat from these countries dissipated, and as evidence emerged that democracy and a free press were beginning to take root, some in the foreign policy community raised doubts about the relevance of at least some of the U.S. international broadcasting operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern U.S. government-funded international broadcasting began during World War II with the creation of the Voice of America, and continued throughout the Cold War period with Radio Free Europe broadcasting behind the Iron Curtain, and Radio Liberty targeting populations in the former Soviet Union. Over the decades, VOA expanded its broadcasting and language services into other regions of the world, including the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Later, new services for Cuba and East Asia were initiated. Most recently, in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, significant new resources and services were introduced to reach the peoples of the Middle East and Central and South Asia. This book discusses the background of U.S. international broadcasting. It also examines the extent to which the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) language services overlap with one another; and BBG broadcasts in the same languages as other international broadcasters.

This book was released on 2017-08-05 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " 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. 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 2003, GAO found overlap among BBG's language services. In its strategic plan for 2012- 2016, BBG recognizes the need to reduce language service overlap. GAO was asked to review issues related to international broadcasting. This report 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. GAO reviewed laws, reports, and other documents related to U.S. international broadcasting; analyzed information on the BBG entities; and interviewed representatives of the five BBG entities and international broadcasters.

Book excerpt: This report examines the debate on the future of Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). These organizations enjoyed broad support until their value and purpose were called into question by recent developments abroad and at home: the spread of communications technologies worldwide, the spread of democracy in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, and the tightening of the U.S. budget. This report builds on existing literature and the results of a conference RAND sponsored in April 1993. The author supports a downsizing of RFE/RL and its eventual consolidation with VOA; housing the new, consolidated broadcasting organization as an independent organization within the U.S. Information Agency; and scaling back broadcasting in Eastern Europe, while expanding services into Asia.
