Radio Free Europe Receives EU Funding After US Cuts

ai generated text

The European Union has agreed to provide emergency funding to support Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, two independent media organizations that aim to deliver news to regions under communist or authoritarian rule. The EU's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, has announced that the bloc will allocate €5.5 million to keep the organizations afloat, citing the need for a "safety net for independent journalism".

    1. It's short-term emergency funding designed as a safety net for the [network's] independent journalism.
    2. In a time of growing unfiltered content, independent journalism is more important than ever.
    3. Coming from the other side of the Iron Curtain, actually it was [from] the radio that we got a lot of information.

    1. Now that they're out from under that, why wouldn't you even have a consortium of funding for RFE that is a combination of European and American funding?
    2. In so many ways, it was a post-World War II and Cold War initiative, which sought to help the European countries which came under the shadow of Soviet domination.
    3. The first thing it says is how much the Europeans value the work that RFE does, and how important they think it is in their news diet and their news ecosystem.
