U.S. Agency for Global Media obligations in Virginia

A join, not a Virginia USAGM scorecard

Quote the join in one breath: U.S. Agency for Global Media in Virginia, $313,105,579.35, 155 awards, USAspending.gov, obligations not outlays. Skip any sentence that needs a contractor name, a program catalog, or a fiscal year — those facts are not in the packet.

The 155 figure is not a count of unique networks or vendors and is not a count of distinct USAGM programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $2,020,036.00 is not a typical broadcasting or media-support award.

Open U.S. Agency for Global Media in Virginia for the filtered table, Virginia federal spending for the next hub, U.S. Agency for Global Media for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

No typical USAGM award is published here

International-broadcasting and media-network folklore may explain why a searcher landed here. It does not add dollars, awards, or unique networks or vendors to the extract. Keep the published pair at $313,105,579.35 and 155.

Repeat the filters before repeating the dollars: U.S. Agency for Global Media (514) and Virginia (VA). Then $313,105,579.35. Then 155. Then USAspending.gov.

Landmarks are not subtotals

All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $313,105,579.35. U.S. Agency for Global Media in Virginia remains the place to verify the live rows.

Northern virginia and tidewater folklore is the same kind of reader path as international-broadcasting and media-network folklore: useful for search, unused as math.

Source note, copied without extra years

Because no fiscal year is in `facts`, this file does not stamp FY on $313,105,579.35. Readers who need a year filter should use the overlay or a different extract that actually publishes a year.

Nothing in the packet converts $313,105,579.35 into local economic impact, jobs, or tax-return outcomes. Those claims would need other datasets.

Separate systems, same map words

USAspending.gov and FEC.gov can share place names without sharing dollars. Virginia in a contribution file is not a funding source for $313,105,579.35.

Keep FEC language off captions that reuse $313,105,579.35. The unit and the source both belong to USAspending.gov.

Both join sides, then the number, then the source

Keep $2,020,036.00 in the same sentence as the word mean, or omit it. Detached, it reads like a typical broadcasting or media-support award.

All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $313,105,579.35. U.S. Agency for Global Media in Virginia remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Virginia is statewide; it does not split Arlington, Alexandria, and Richmond. Neighbor-coded activity in Maryland, District of Columbia, or North Carolina stays out even if mail is handled in Arlington. Correlation is not causation. International-broadcasting and media-network folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Northern virginia and tidewater folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 514 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national USAGM budget on this page. Virginia's $313,105,579.35 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from U.S. Agency for Global Media and call the difference 'Virginia versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. U.S. Agency for Global Media is the awarding-agency label stored on the Virginia overlay; the numeric key is 514. Readers who only remember the short name USAGM still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $313,105,579.35. The 155 figure is not a count of unique networks or vendors and is not a count of distinct USAGM programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $2,020,036.00 is not a typical broadcasting or media-support award. Northern Virginia folklore does not equal a ward-level split. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/va/agencies/514/ and canonicalPath /ties/u-s-agency-for-global-media-in-virginia/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $313,105,579.35 or 155, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $313,105,579.35, 155 awards, agency 514, U.S. Agency for Global Media, Virginia (VA), and the obligation unit.
