Agency for global media is an independent federal agency overseeing public service media networks that provide unbiased news and information in countries where the press is restricted. Agency for global media (usagm) is setting the record straight after a wave of misleading press reports and troubling financial claims pushed out by its own federal grantee, radio free asia (rfa). The united states agency for global media's mission is to inform, engage and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy.
Usagm trains hundreds of journalists, editors, broadcasters and media managers each year under its authority to support freedom of information around the world. The agency’s mission is reinforced by those of the individual entities that are overseen by usagm. On august 22, 2018, as part of a larger modernization effort, the broadcasting board of governors changed its name to the united states agency for global media.
