Abstract

The author focuses on the role of U.S.-sponsored radio and television broadcasts in the struggle for freedom around the world. He states that institutions such as Radio Free Europe and Voice of America (VOA) helped win the Cold War. He mentions Radio Sawa, which took over in 2002 where VOA left off, uses an approach that mixes a music format with news and public affairs to attract younger audiences in Iraq. He cites the concept of VOA's Persian-language television show "Roundtable With You."
