President George W. Bush speaks at a celebration for the 60th anniversary of the Voice of America Feb. 25, 2002.
Broadcasting the hope of freedom from America to the world
Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty for decades spread the universal ideals of freedom and democracy around the world via radio, TV, and digital content. Funded by the U.S. government and reviled by authoritarian regimes, these outlets inspired generations of democracy advocates, particularly in places without a free and independent press. Their legacy lives on in struggles for freedom around the globe.
