Here’s a list of U.S. government-sponsored media outlets, their approximate budgets, and missions based on the information provided:
Voice of America (VOA): Budget: Approximately $260 million annually.
Mission: VOA’s mission is to broadcast news and information about the United States and the world to audiences abroad, aiming to promote freedom and democracy, and to present a balanced and comprehensive projection of American thought and institutions. It operates under the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM).
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL): Budget: Part of the USAGM’s total budget of $753 million in 2021 (the specific budget for RFE/RL alone isn’t detailed but is included within this total).
Mission: To provide uncensored news, responsible discussion, and open debate to countries where a free press is either banned by the government or not fully established. It focuses on Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet republics, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia.
Radio Free Asia (RFA): Budget: Included within the USAGM’s $753 million annual budget (specific allocation not detailed).
Mission: RFA provides news and information to Asian countries where full, accurate, and timely news broadcasts are unavailable due to government censorship. The goal is to promote democratic values and human rights.
Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB): Budget: Also part of the USAGM’s budget, specific figures not independently listed.

U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM): Budget: $753 million per year (this encompasses all networks under its umbrella).
Mission: To inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy. It oversees all the above networks and is tasked with countering anti-American propaganda and promoting U.S. perspectives.
Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB): Budget: Approximately $445 million (this budget supports public media, including NPR and PBS, but is not exclusively for media production).
Mission: To facilitate the development of, and ensure universal access to, non-commercial educational television and radio for all Americans. This includes funding for NPR and PBS, which are not government-owned but receive government support.
