‘propaganda’
Much of VOA’s audiences live in countries where there is state-run propaganda, and they seek out VOA for its objective, fact-based reporting. Experts say that authoritarian governments are becoming ever more sophisticated in their efforts to broadcast lies and disinformation, making VOA more important than ever.
