Friends --
The Washington Post ran an editorial in today's paper underscoring vital roles of Radio Free Asia and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty as "... Russia and China as well as many smaller nations, are slamming the door on independent news and information[.]"
With the crises in Burma and Ukraine, RFA and RFE/RL face challenges as audiences turn to them as a back stop for accurate and timely news and information, the piece notes. "Their mission now seems more urgent than ever -- and they will need ingenuity to overcome hurdles to fulfilling it," the ed board writes, as "beaming the truth into these shut-in corners of the world is becoming more and more difficult."
