The Office of War Information, widely known by its acronym OWI, was a Federal agency during World War II in charge of the dissemination of all official news in the United States and abroad and of propaganda abroad (except in Latin America, which was the province of the Office of Inter-American Affairs). The OWI was created within the Office for Emergency Management by executive order of June 13, 1942, and combined several existing Federal information services including the Office of Facts and Figures.
