Radio Free Asia
U.S. government-funded, pro-democracy international broadcaster
Radio Free Asia is a U.S. government-funded private nonprofit that broadcasts news and information to audiences in authoritarian Asian states. Its editorial mission centers on press freedom and democracy promotion, operating under a statutory firewall meant to shield journalism from direct government interference. The Trump administration cut off RFA's funding in 2025, forcing mass layoffs and a full suspension of operations, a move RFA challenged in federal court as unlawful.
