Radio Free Asia’s mission is to provide accurate and timely news and information to Asian countries whose governments prohibit access to a free press.
RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation that broadcasts news and information to listeners in Asian countries where full, accurate, and timely news reports are unavailable.
In 2011, Radio Free Asia celebrated its 15th Anniversary. On 12/17/2010 the Broadcasting Board of Governors passed the following resolution celebrating and commemorating RFA's 15 years of impact broadcasting.
Strict adherence to the highest standards of journalism is at the very core of RFA's mission.
