In every   embassy  and   consulate , Public Affairs offices work with media, cultural, educational, and civil society leaders and institutions to publicize the domestic and international policies and programs of the United States as they affect the host country. Support for and development of an independent media allows the public to hear American perspectives including on internal affairs in their country. Educational programming and exchanges offer opportunities to bring American artists and experts on a wide range of topics to the host country while allowing foreign citizens a chance to visit the United States on programs of varying length to acquire new knowledge, skills and contacts, as well as to see the U.S. without media, societal, and governmental filters.
