![Voice of America produces journalism. To suggest it's a propaganda arm is outrageous - Los Angeles Times](https://www.latimes.com/resizer/4bDK2iJqaTYUa-PmNUVFllZ7URY=/1200x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tronc.s3.amazonaws.com/public/EGSACN2GDFBTNBLXWLBPMRPMLU.jpg)
While VOA’s job is to tell America’s story abroad, the mission of RFE/RL, which is based in Prague, is to create a free local press in nations where independent media do not exist or are still developing. RFE/RL provides accurate local news to a 20-nation region that includes the former Soviet Union, the Balkans, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
