VOA Charter

Public Law 94-350

Passed Congress/Enrolled Bill: July 12, 1976.

VOA will represent America, not any single segment of American society, and will therefore present a balanced and comprehensive projection of significant American thought and institutions.

VOA Charter

(Public Law 94-350)

VOA will present the policies of the United States clearly and effectively, and will also present responsible discussions and opinion on these policies.

VOA Charter

(Public Law 94-350)

To be an effective tool for strengthening media freedom and U.S. national security, federally-funded information outreach abroad must be free of partisanship and maintain strong bipartisan support.
