VII: Federal Support
Ensure Broad Federal Support Other Information:
The BBG is both independent and dependent within the U.S. government. Congress made us an independent agency in order to preserve
our journalistic integrity and credibility with audiences. Yet we serve U.S. foreign policy interests and require support
from other agencies to further our mission -- gaining, say, the support of the U.S. government to end Chinese jamming. We
need to work together within an overall relationship of mutual respect and trust. Key to getting the support we need from
other Federal agencies is effective intra-governmental communications. While the BBG may have many recognized spokespersons,
to be effective there must be a coordinated message. The BBG will provide the coordination while enlisting the full participation
of broadcasting service management. In addition, the Board should ensure that the BBG is a participant in key policy circles
so that we can obtain the necessary support for our broadcasting initiatives.
