Sokan SZERették. Követendő példa?
Many loved RadioFreeEurope. Is it a way we should fallow?

Summary/Abstract: For decades millions of desperate, oppressed people fallowed the broadcasting of RadioFreeEurope (RFE), without any knowledge about it’s background, it’s ways of functioning and it’s difficulties in gathering information. Despite being a private organization, RFE was sustained by public funds of the United States Congress. The headquarter was established in Munich and it transmitted from West Germany and Portugal. The Hungarian language programs were written and edited by Hungarian emigrants for Hungarians living in Hungary and outside it’s borders, in neighboring countries. According to Sándor Márai it was „a window to the world”, through which the listeners could take a look on a free welfare society. The author compares the current information gathering practices with those used by the RFE and concludes that nowadays it’s difficult to gather reliable information in Romania. Though the Mediafax and the Rador news agencies established Hungarian services, news of the Mediafax are poorly translated. The Rador agency, established by the Romanian Radio Society, only translates international news in Hungarian.
