		VOA is not for tribal and religious zealots.
		The editors put together broadcasts with a mix of material from the central VOA newsroom and reports from 14 local stringers (12 in Nigeria, one in Ghana, and one in the Republic of Niger) who are not full-time VOA employees.
		Nigerian Christians complain that the VOA perpetuates a subtle pro-Muslim bias, as when it exaggerates the size of the Muslim population in places such as Jos and interviews a disproportionate percentage of Muslims in "man-on-the-street" segments.

	RWonline - RW Special Report
		VOA English was cut because the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which supervises United States government international broadcasting, has not been impressed with its audience numbers.
		If one listens to VOA on a shortwave radio, it's an indication that he or she lives in an area where the Internet connections and satellite receivers are not available, or are restricted.
		VOA's frequencies and transmitters can be put to good use by using the old BBC World Service concept: Transmit in English on as many frequencies as possible, for as many hours as possible, to as many parts of the world as possible.

		VOICE: The compromise was reached in the usual fashion: a frenzy of log-rolling that boosted spending at least 30-billion [dollars] above the "budget caps" established several years ago in the hopes of keeping the federal leviathan under control.
		VOICE: If you want to put a grimace on the face of a United nations official, just say "Srebrenica." For those with short memories, that is the town in eastern Bosnia-Herzegovina that, despite its status as a U-N safe area, was overrun by the Bosnian-Serb army in July 1995.
		VOICE: As the Associated Press reported, the new compromise package calls for the Ulster Unionists, the province's major Protestant party, to drop their longstanding demand that the Irish Republican Army disarm before the four-party government is formed.

	Voice Of America? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		VOA's parent agency during the Cold War and up until the late 1990s was the United States Information Agency that, during the late Clinton era, was replaced by an unwieldy structure called the BBG.
		VOA programming in the past was aimed at opinion makers of society, including educators and intellectuals, and its unbiased news reports made it authoritative in clear contrast to the propaganda-laden reports issued by Communist governments.
		Perhaps the most serious charge made by the VOA employees in their petition is that the BBG is seeking to make an end-run around the VOA's Congressional Charter that is designed to protect VOA from "political interference" and to ensure its broadcasts reach the highest standards of journalistic objectivity and accuracy.

	Cabaret Voltaire : The Voice of America - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		The Voice of America introduces itself with a Southern policeman delivering instructions to what could be a riot squad.
		Like Mix-Up, The Voice of America displays in various ways how noisy, abrasive, and unpleasant an album can be in the oft-used ten-song/40-minute format, providing the nag-nag-nag that Cabaret Voltaire does so well without the drag-drag-drag associated with a lot of electronic experimentalism.
		Generally speaking, The Voice of America has more of an anchor than Mix-Up with its increased use of rhythm, whether it's from those rickety drum machines or actual drums.

	Voice of America; A History; Alan L. Heil Jr.
		Reporting first hand, high-quality news is a monumental task for any network, but the Voice faces obstacles unique to an organization that stands, as former director John Chancellor once observed, at "the crossroads of journalism and diplomacy." It is for this reason that many people still perceive VOA as an instrument of American propaganda.
		However, as a thirty-six-year veteran of VOA and its numerous policy wars, Heil believes that the Voice has always sought to deliver accurate, objective, and comprehensive news of the highest journalistic standard, news that reflects America's diversity and dynamism, and that presents not only U.S. policies but also critical debate about those policies.
		This in-depth history of VOA from its founding until its sixtieth anniversary is a vivid portrait of the people who made it great, depicting a news network that has overcome enormous challenges to steadfastly and faithfully report the most important news stories of our time.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Voice of America: Simon Schama on why Bob Dylan still matters
		But it doesn't matter, because the beauty of Scorsese's phenomenally powerful and moving documentary, especially of the first episode, is that it does indeed document richly not just Dylan's own beginnings but the dissenting American culture in which his songs took wing.
		Voice after voice from that coffee-stained, mildly dopey world of Greenwich Village in the early 60s - Allen Ginsberg, Dave van Ronk, Pete Seeger, Roger Cohen, Maria Muldaur and the perennially wild colonial boy Clancy, ruddy face aglow with tipsy fondness - all give the lie to Dylan's self-fashioned mythology of indifference.
		But don't think twice, it's all right, because that precious historical moment when Dylan articulated in coruscating rhymes just what was the matter with America and the world survives intact in archive, spoken memory, and for that matter in his own freewheeling words and music.

	Voice of America by Way of Hong Kong (washingtonpost.com)
		The Voice of America, working with ever-tightening budgets, is planning a little outsourcing itself -- to Communist China -- to save some taxpayer dollars.
		VOA says the move could save at least $300,000 in salaries and benefits each year, and would relieve people burdened by working those hours -- though we hear most of those affected like their hours and enhanced night pay.
		Tim Shamble, president of the American Federation of Government Employees local, notes it doesn't seem to make sense that "English news broadcasts by the Voice of America should be written by non-Americans in a foreign country." Then there's the notion, he said, of American taxpayer dollars providing jobs for noncitizens overseas.
