 In an article on the 25th anniversary of the network, "The Washington Post" noted that C-SPAN's programming has been copied by television networks worldwide and credits the network with providing information about foreign politics to American viewers.According to "The New York Times", C-SPAN's mission to record official events in Washington, D.C. makes it "one of a kind", particularly in the creation of the C-SPAN Video Library, which received significant press coverage.Despite its stated commitment to providing politically balanced programming, C-SPAN and its shows such as "Washington Journal", "Booknotes", "Q & A", and "After Words" have been accused by some liberal organizations of having a conservative bias.
