A Message from RFE/RL's President Jeffrey Gedmin
Dear visitor,
I welcome you to the Internet home of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
It is an honor to lead this great organization. Its contribution during the Cold War to the struggle against communist tyranny in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union is well known. Less well known, perhaps, is the role it continues to play today -- in Russia, the Black Sea region, Central Asia, and the Persian Gulf.
Our mission has remained the same: to promote democratic values and institutions. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty today is radio, television, and the Internet. We provide our audiences accurate and objective news and information, as well as timely and lively discussion and debate of the issues most important to them.
This is "soft power" at its very best. This kind of work is urgently needed in countries where decent, accountable government is weak or absent altogether, and where authoritarian forces refuse to permit free and independent media.
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty works to promote universal values -- in the best American tradition.
