"Here is RIAS Berlin - a free voice of the free world!" Millions of listeners knew this sentence. From 1946 the RIAS broadcast in West Berlin, but was also heard in the East - secretly, at great risk.

This is more true now than ever. Freedom of information and freedom of the press are under threat worldwide. Censorship and persecution of reporters are increasing in regimes.
