Summary:

Radio Marti, a U.S.-funded radio station, was established in 1983 to broadcast uncensored news and information to Cuba. Radio Marti programs are required to be objective and balanced and to present a variety of views. For several years, allegations have been made that political bias has undermined the accuracy and objectivity of Radio Marti's news and information broadcasts. This report reviews the implementation of the U.S. Information Agency's plan for enhancing the overall review process of Radio Marti by (1) moving a program review unit from the Office of Voice of America programs to the Office of the Associate Director, Bureau of Broadcasting, and making the unit responsible for overseeing the review process at Radio Marti and (2) creating an external review panel to broadcast practices at Radio Marti.
