BBG 2016 Annual Report 2016 Annual Report The Broadcasting Board of Governors is the independent federal government agency that oversees all U.S. civilian international media. BBG is also the name of the board that governs the agency. The five networks of the BBG are trusted news sources, providing high-quality journalism and programming to more than 278 million people each week. BBG networks are news leaders, covering stories left untold in environments that lack press freedom and fostering civil dialogue in places overwhelmed with disinformation. They are leading channels for information about the United States as well as independent platforms for freedom of expression and a free press.

We are carefully weighing pressing national security concerns, government-wide spending constraints and the need to fine-tune our operations to deliver more impact.” — JOHN F. LANSING FEBRUARY 2016 Letter from the CEO 2016 was a transformational year for U.S. international media. With unprecedented strategic coordination, the networks of the BBG—Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (Radio and TV Martí), Radio Free Asia, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks —have impacted the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world by providing accurate, unbiased and uncensored news and information. We have modernized the way we operate in one of the most significant strategic shifts in our agency’s history, with an emphasis on rapidly transitioning to digital and social platforms around the world. We are already seeing measurable results with record weekly audience growth of 52 million in the past year for a total weekly audience of 278 million people. We are more focused on key U.S. foreign policy goals and took the important steps to align our infrastructure and operations with our agency priorities. The result is a strong and nimble global media agency driven by maximizing impact, which in turn advances U.S. foreign policy priorities and national security interests. BBG networks remain unique in the international media space. Our global networks can be seen and heard in rural and urban areas in the most restrictive countries in the world, including North Korea, Cuba and China. We are the world leader in content distribution—providing news and information on the widest range of platforms available, from shortwave to mobile, making sure our content gets to audiences that need it. In 2016, each of our networks played a critical role in supporting the pursuit of freedom and democracy, covering under reported or censored stories, providing platforms for people to speak freely about issues that are important to them, investigating and exposing corruption, and in many cases serving as a lifeline of information for people struggling to access the truth. I am honored to work alongside the dedicated and passionate women and men of U.S. international media, and I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish this year. Our extensive reach gives us a competitive advantage to provide objective news where it’s needed the most, and our streamlined structure gives us the ability to operate in a targeted and more impactful way. Despite a volatile global media environment, we are seeing consistent growth and aim to continue along that trajectory. On behalf of the amazing staff of BBG, both in front of and behind the camera, thank you for your support and interest in our work. We are proudly continuing the U.S. international media legacy of making the world a safer and better place, by informing, engaging and connecting audiences around the world in support of freedom and democracy so that they may make informed decisions about their lives, their families and their communities. Promoting civil societies outside of our country makes America a safer place for our own citizens. Respectfully, Submitted on behalf of the Broadcasting Board of Governors and pursuant to Section 305(a) of the International John F. Lansing, BBG CEO and Director Broadcasting Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-236) 3 One Mission. To inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy. One Team.

  • Steve Burke Chief Executive Officer Nbcuniversal 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112 Jeff Shell Incoming Chief Executive
    Steve Burke Chief Executive Officer NBCUniversal 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112 Jeff Shell Incoming Chief Executive Officer NBC Universal 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112 December 17th, 2019 Dear Mr. Burke and Mr. Shell, We write as members of the New York State Legislature to express our concern about allegations of a toxic workplace environment at NBCUniversal. There is growing evidence of a culture that silences victims of harassment and those who report inappropriate workplace behavior at NBC. NBCUniversal’s recent decision not to renew Gabrielle Union’s contract on America’s Got Talent is just the ​ ​ latest example of a concerning pattern of behavior on the part of NBC. Union was allegedly let go after raising concerns about racist jokes made on set and having been told repeatedly that her hairstyles were “too black.” These allegations represent unacceptable workplace behavior that no one should be subject to, let alone terminated for reporting. We are grateful that NBC has committed to Union that they will investigate her allegations and termination. However, NBC must be transparent about the findings of their investigation and take concrete steps to reform the toxic culture throughout the company. Union’s experience is only one example of the systemic silencing of victims of harassment and those who have spoken up at NBC. As reported extensively by Ronan Farrow and others, NBC ignored complaints of sexual misconduct against Matt Lauer and stymied Farrow’s reporting on Harvey Weinstein while at NBC. Farrow has also reported that at least seven women have signed non-disclosure agreements with the company after alleging sexual harassment, including individuals who made complaints about Lauer before November 2017.

Summary President Ali Abdallah Saleh had been in power since 1978, an experience that he famously likened to “dancing on the heads of snakes.” As the position of Saleh became increasingly precarious, Saudi Arabia was one of the leaders in brokering a deal for a transition. The deal, backed by the UN, involved a transfer of power to Saleh’s deputy, Abd- Rabbu Mansour Hadi, which finally took place in November 2011 after months of deadly clashes between protesters and the security forces.
