Notes

The black and white prints of RFE/RL were donated to OSA by the Hoover Institute, California in year 2015. The images are duplicates of those held at Hoover. The originals, and most probably the negatives are with the donor as well. OSA only received the paper prints with captions, and digitized the entire collection in year 2018.

ORIGINAL CAPTION:
An overall view of the Central News Room at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Central News is an internal news agency serving as clients the news desks of the 21 different language services within the radio. The news room takes in more than a million-and-a-half words every 24 hours from Western and Eastern news agencies, its own bureaus in major capitals of the world, Eastern radio and television. Editors boil this huge flow down into a running file of just over 100,000 words daily that move out to the 21 news desks on two in-house internal wires around the clock.
