Some broadcast entities such as VOA and RFE/RL broadcast in the same languages. Is the content of their programs similar?
The programming for each is different. RFE/RL and RFA serve as what we call “surrogate” broadcasters, performing the role of an independent press where none is available in that country. VOA provides a broader range of news about the U.S. and the world, and U.S. policies under the same standard of accuracy and balance.
