Radio Free Asia
Radio Free Asia (RFA) is a non-profit corporation that broadcasts radio programs and publishes news, information, and commentary for its audiences in Asia.[1][2][3][4] It is funded by the United States government.
The service aims to providing accurate and uncensored reporting to countries in Asia that have poor media environments and limited protections for speech freedom and press freedom.[5][6][7]
