The media influence politics by providing intelligence and arena for political statements. Therefore, the danger of spreading false information and deliberate disinformation can have serious consequences. It is impossible to accuse specific media outlets of unfair coverage, but one cannot fail to note the existing resonance in media reports from different countries. Interpretations of the same events are radically different, while a journalist must rely on facts. The world is faced with the problem of global misunderstanding and information discord. Modern international broadcasting plays an important role in shaping the picture of the event for the world community. It is impossible to deny that the information agenda of many foreign broadcast media depends to some extent on a number of reasons: nationality, foreign policy of his state, profitability. Otherwise, the global media would not contradict each other. We want to track how modern foreign broadcasting builds its agenda and what principles it is guided by. Keywords: Broadcasting, media, Media agenda

During the German occupation of France (1940-44), in addition to the broadcasts of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), shortwave broadcasters in the United States, such as NBC, and later, the U.S. government’s Voice of America (VOA) and Office of War Information (OWI) supplied broadcast news, entertainment, and moral support to French listeners living under the Vichy regime. This chapter explores U.S. and Allied international broadcasting to France between 1937, when daily transatlantic French-language programs began in earnest from America, through D-Day, to the liberation of Paris coordinated in part via radio broadcasting. The chapter analyzes the programs and strategies of broadcasters, Nazi and Vichy propagandists, and clandestine listeners during the Occupation.
