Law

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.
