The United States International Communications Reform Act of 2014 () is a bill that would revise U.S. international broadcasting and communications structures, missions, and objectives.〔 The bill would also replace the Broadcasting Board of Governors with the United States International Communications Agency.〔 The bill was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress. ==Background== (詳細はindependent federal agency of the United States government responsible for supervising all U.S. government-supported, civilian international media. The mission of the BBG is "to inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy."〔 According to a series of reports beginning in 2004 and generated by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the BBG has struggled to live up to its mission. For instance, GAO highlighted a structural issue of the BBG in a 2004 report claiming that "organizationally, the existence of five separate broadcast entities has led to overlapping language services, duplication of program content, redundant newsgathering and support services, and difficulties coordinating broadcast efforts."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-04-711T )〕 The report also added that "marketing challenges include outmoded program formats, poor signal delivery, and low audience awareness in many markets."〔 Employees at the Broadcasting Board of Governors were consistently rated as having the lowest personnel morale in the federal government by the Office of Management and Budget. Due to cuts in broadcasting to Ukraine and Russia, the United States could not broadcast into Crimea during the 2014 Crimean crisis.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States International Communications Reform Act of 2014」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
