This Collection includes more than 86,000 hourly radio |
|
newscasts which aired on more than 3,600 unique broadcast |
|
dates by the Voice of America (VOA), the flagship U.S. |
|
international broadcaster. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since August 15, 2014, these five-minute English-language |
|
newscasts have been downloaded from the VOA website[1]. A |
|
small number of older newscasts come from other sources |
|
including some over-the-air airchecks. (VOA also produces |
|
content in more than 40 other languages.) |
|
|
|
VOA archives much of its radio and television output on |
|
its own website, but content management systems change, |
|
and in the past audio files have been lost in the |
|
transition. This Internet Archive Collection may be the |
|
only independent site where a large number of Voice of |
|
America newscasts are permanently retained and available |
|
to researchers and the public. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In most cases where there are fewer than 24 newscasts for |
|
a given day it is normally because the missing items were |
|
not available for download on VOAnews.com. In some cases |
|
it may be due to curator's error or technical glitch, or |
|
a scheduling decision to produce fewer than 24 x 7 |
|
newscasts a week. |
|
|
|
Newscasters heard on these hourly, English-language |
|
newscasts include (in alphabetical order) Frances Alonzo, |

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The daily package of newscasts is normally uploaded |
|
shortly after the final newscast of the UTC day. |
