Is there a way around the paywall for this? If not, the submission should probably get flagged.

Original mission statement of Voice of America is still unchanged and defined by its Charter, which became U.S. law in 1976.

It has three core principles:

1. Provide accurate, objective, and comprehensive news.

2. Represent America as a whole, reflecting the diversity of American society and institutions.

3. Explain U.S. government policies clearly, while also presenting responsible discussion and differing opinions about those policies.

Sure they lamented lack of a travel budget but the mission is all about United States and US government, not the world.
