It was great to welcome @USAGMgov @usagmceo to @RFERL offices in Riga & Prague this week. Our brave and talented journalists discussed how they are providing uncensored, independent news to growing audiences across our coverage region.

Thrilled to talk to the youth correspondents covering the #SummitforDemocracy! A free press is absolutely a cornerstone of democracy. It's going to be these young people, our next generation of journalists, who protect and expand the free press worldwide. youtube.com/watch?v=hko4kS…

We've seen the threats to journalists all over the world increase dramatically. Journalism is not a crime. Read my conversation with @AFP about Evan Gershkovich's arrest, growing threats to media, and the huge demand from our audience for reliable news. barrons.com/news/reporter-…

Human rights activist Tong Yi told @committeeonccp an incredible story about how @VOAnews impacted her After VOA broke the story of her unjust treatment in a Chinese labor camp, it was picked up by the media & a US official raised the issue. Her treatment "improved dramatically"

The Kyrgyz government's escalating attacks on @RFERL's @Azattyk_Radiosu prove just how important their credible, fact-based journalism is. Read @jamiemfly's Op-Ed on why we should all care what happens next in the fight for press freedom in Kyrgyzstan: thediplomat.com/2023/03/rfe-rl…
RFE/RL Pressroom@RFERLPress

The Kyrgyz government is threatening to shut down @Azattyk_Radiosu. @RFERL President & CEO @JamieMFly explains how Kyrgyzstan's crackdown on Azattyk could embolden "aspiring authoritarians across Central Asia" for the @Diplomat_APAC: thediplomat.com/2023/03/rfe-rl…

Despite the Iranian regime’s escalating attacks on the free press, independent journalists, and the open exchange of ideas, USAGM will not be deterred in our mission to provide audiences in Iran with independent, fact-based journalism. usagm.gov/2023/02/23/usa…

ICYMI @nytimes did a great feature on @RFERL showing just how important their mission is today. Traffic to RFE/RL's websites almost tripled to nearly 70M in the first week of the war, compared to 2021, as people in Ukraine & Russia sought out factual news nytimes.com/2023/01/24/wor…

Does fact-based #news have a chance against #disinformation in the digital age? The answer might surprise you. Despite operating with only a fraction of the budget of #China's state-controlled media, @VOANews' Mandarin Service had nearly DOUBLE the YouTube views as CCTV in 2022.

How do you know if your reporting is making a difference? Let's ask @RadioFreeAsia. RFA's coverage of the protests against the Chinese government's zero-COVID lockdowns in 2022 broke records for online traffic. One video showing the protests was viewed over 4 MILLION TIMES.

What good is the very best reporting if no one can access it? That's where @OpenTechFund comes in During the 2022 hijab protests in Iran, usage of OTF circumvention tools jumped from 6M daily users to nearly 30M. That means 1-in-4 Iranians use these tools to access the internet.
