Abstract
The broadcasting board of governors has been in operation for just under a decade. Formerly a Cold War-era media arm of the US government tasked with spreading American media, news, and propaganda messages behind the Iron Curtain, the BBG was repurposed to deal with the new international landscape. The BBG operates Voice of America (VOA), Alhurra, Radio Sawa, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Radio Free Asia (RFA), and Radio and TV Martà - from this list it is easy to see that there is a special emphasis on both the Arab/Muslim world and on Communist holdout Cuba
