Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Representative Huizenga, requires two offices within the State Department to share information and work together more closely on international communication.
  • The Bureau of Global Public Affairs would have to request public opinion surveys to learn how people in other countries feel about the United States and its interests.
  • This data would help U.S.-funded media outlets that broadcast overseas understand local cultures and changing attitudes so they can better reach their audiences.
  • The goal of the policy is to make sure the government uses real-world data when deciding how to talk to people in different parts of the world.
