VOA Tibetan reaches its audience through television, radio, the Internet, and social media platforms with uncensored news unavailable to Tibetans through state-controlled Chinese media. VOA offers discussions on important issues, information that helps support Tibetan civil society, and counters official Chinese propaganda and misinformation about the U.S. VOA Tibetan audiences are located in the Tibet Autonomous Region, the autonomous Tibetan areas in the Chinese provinces of Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, and Yunnan, and in Bhutan, Nepal, and India—where Tibetan speakers live.
