Silencing the Radio: Freedom of the Press in Russia
Jun 4, 2021
On Thursday, June 3, 2021 NSI held a fireside chat featuring Jamie Fly, President of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to discuss Russia’s aggressive actions to prevent RFE/RL from operating freely and what steps RFE/RL is taking in response to make sure that unbiased news can still reach their Russian audience.
Russian officials recently informed Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) about the launch of enforcement proceedings against the company for unpaid fines related to Russia’s crackdown on independent journalists. A free and vibrant press is vital to expose corruption, hold the powerful to account, and inform the populace.
