Russia: US shutdown of RFE/RL broadcasting in Russian language further undermines the public’s right to know / IFJ

This move undermines global press freedom and isolates audiences from independent news, despite legal challenges, effectively aiding authoritarian regimes by restricting access to unbiased information. This highlights the vital role of sustained public funding in maintaining diverse media landscapes, a core principle of open data and free information exchange.
