Why is “Voice of America” necessary to combat other nations anti-american propaganda; for example anything in North Korea?

“Voice of America” is the official radio and television broadcasting service of the United States federal government. VOA provides a wide range of programming for broadcast on radio, television and the internet around the world in 44 languages, promoting a positive view of the United States. “Voice of America” is government propaganda, promoting positive views of the United States. However, in todays day in age it’s propaganda is necessary to combat that anti-american propaganda of other countries or terrorist organizations. If other countries/organizations anti-american propaganda is the only message being heard internationally, this would lead to much MORE anti-american sediment and most likely lead to more terrorism and dead US Soilders in the middle east. It is important for American's to understand what VOA represents and its mission because it helps protect the freedoms that most Americans take foregranted.

I will use all research methods including online, library research interviews and observations. I will observe some of the VOA broadcasts going around the world internationally to compare it to the propaganda being used by anti-american countries and terrorist organizations. I will find specific examples where the VOA worked to support the United States interests' and an example where it did not work.

What I like about this project is your sincere effort to examine the positive and negative functions of government-sponsored propaganda. This project will be stronger if you drill into one specific case where the propaganda "worked" to support US government goals re terrorism and one case that was not effective. Work to develop a stronger rationale statement for why it's important for Americans to understand VOA and its mission.
