About us
On August 22, 2018, as part of a larger modernization effort, the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) changed its name to the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM). The Broadcasting Board of Governors was established in 1994 when President Bill Clinton signed the International Broadcasting Act (Public Law 103-236). With the enactment of the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, the Broadcasting Board of Governors assumed authority for VOA and the Martís, as well as its three grantee organizations: RFE/RL, RFA and MBN. The change was made to help constituents better understand the work that the Agency and its networks do. USAGM works to serve as an example of a free and professional press, reaching a worldwide audience with news, information, and relevant discussions. USAGM remains rigorously committed to objective journalism and the firewall protecting journalists and content from political influence remains in place.
