Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor David Iurescia, who shares an article from Radio Prague outlining how Radio Farda continues to report on protests in Iran despite aggressive censorship, internet blackouts, and significant risks to journalists and sources on the ground. Operating from Prague as part of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Farda works creatively and persistently to gather and verify information under extremely challenging conditions, providing independent Persian-language reporting that remains a crucial lifeline for audiences inside Iran—and an important window for listeners and readers around the world.
My opinion is that shortwave is still a phenomenal media for excellent journalism, where internet is blocked by certain governments like Iran and other countries where censorship still exist.
