“Thank you for the remarkable and important work you do, and the risks you take in bringing free and open news reporting to people around the world.”
RFE/RL is currently relocating to a new facility in the Prague district of Hagibor, ten minutes from the city center. The five-story, 236,000 sq/ft broadcast center features state-of-the-art multimedia infrastructure, recording studios, interlinking offices, and a modern newsroom. It is also energy-efficient and one of the most secure buildings in Europe.
