R.E.M. has launched a new benefit EP named "Radio Free Europe 2025" featuring a remix of their debut single, along with previously recorded tracks. Released digitally now and on vinyl later, the proceeds will support Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which commemorates its 75th anniversary. With concerns over press freedom and funding threats, R.E.M. members emphasize the critical role of journalism in challenging oppressive regimes, especially on occasions like World Press Freedom Day. The band's involvement highlights both their musical heritage and social advocacy.
Whether it's music or a free press-censorship anywhere is a threat to the truth everywhere. On World Press Freedom Day, I'm sending a shout-out to the brave journalists at Radio Free Europe.
Radio Free Europe's journalists have been pissing off dictators for decades. It's important to keep supporting the work they do and the values they represent.
