About this user
RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation that broadcasts news and information in nine native Asian languages to listeners who do not have access to full and free news media. The purpose of RFA is to provide a forum for a variety of opinions and voices from within these Asian countries. Our Web site adds a global dimension to this objective. If you have comments, questions or suggestions, please contact us at contact@rfa.org .
Radio Free Asias mission is to provide accurate and timely news and information to Asian countries whose governments prohibit access to a free press. Guided by the core principles of freedom of expression and opinion, RFA serves its listeners by providing information critical for informed decision-making.
RFA is mandated to broadcast to China, Tibet, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Burma. RFAs programming primarily comprises domestic news and information of unique and specific interest to its listeners. All broadcasts are solely in local language(s) and dialects. Each RFA language service is distinctive, reflecting the particular culture, language, and preferences of its listeners.
RFA adheres to rigorous journalistic standards of objectivity, accuracy, and fairness. RFA aims, in turn, to retain the greatest confidence among its listeners and to serve as a model on which others may shape their own emerging journalistic traditions.
