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:
Munich, West Germany - More than one million words daily flow into this modern Central News Room at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, where multi-lingual editors refine them into an internal outflow to language service newsrooms of about 100,000 words daily. News sources include most major Western news agencies, the Radio's own news bureaus in Western capitals, and Eastern press agencies and radio and television. The computerized Visual Display Terminal systems simplify editing, eliminate telex tape-punching and speed the 24-hour daily flow of news to the 21 language service newsrooms.
