Voice Of America

Voice Of America
   The “Voice of America” was created as a radio broadcasting service during World War II by the Office of War Information to transmit to populations under the control of Nazi Germany. After the war, an international shortwave radio station was established by the State Department in 1948 to broadcast to countries behind the Iron Curtain. Broadcasts were made in 46 languages. This service expanded to reach other parts of the world and eventually included television transmissions. Today it also includes Internet broadcasts.
