Inauguration will be covered by VOA. And RFE/RL. And Alhurra. And Radio Sawa. Radio and TV Martí. And RFA. (No mention of pool coverage.)

Broadcasting Board of Governors, 17 Jan 2013: "As the public swearing-in of U.S. President Barack Obama for his second term takes place, Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) journalists will be there to provide complete coverage of the day’s events along with expert commentary on U.S. policy, the 44th President and the road ahead. Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa, Radio and TV Martí and Radio Free Asia (RFA) will all cover the January 21 historic event, capturing the U.S.’s role as a model of democracy, for their audiences around the globe." -- Maybe I'm the only one, but I think reporting the inauguration is a sufficient undertaking. "Capturing the U.S's role as a model of democracy" goes without saying, and probably should have gone unsaid.

@LynnWeil, 17 Jan 2013: "@BBGgov to bring #inaugural events to 100+ countries, informing & engaging w/people hungry for news of #democracy." -- With families huddled around their mobile devices.
