    Voice of America is a news organization, funded by the US Congress, with a long and storied history. It is primarily intended for an international audience, which is why many Americans haven’t heard of it.

    It used to be a highly effective way to communicate quality radio journalism to parts of the world that don’t have a free press, though I believe it has also been used for propagandistic purposes, as well as a way to specifically counter Nazi propaganda during the war. In general, it is held in pretty high regard as a news source, despite being funded by the government.
