The Voice of America (VOA) is the official U.S. goverment foreign radio broadcasting service. While its programming may include identified opinion programs, statements of fact made on it are considered to be the position of the United States.

It is under the Broadcasting Board of Governorsb(BBG), along with Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty, Radio Marti and Radio Free Asia. In general, VOA is expected to inform rather than persuade, which is more the role of the other broadcasting services under the BBG.
