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 - The Central News Department at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is an internal news agency serving as clients the news desks of the 21 different languages services within the Radio. The Central News Room takes in more than 1,500,000 words every 24 hours from Western and Eastern news agencies, its own major bureaus in major capitals of the world, Eastern radio and television. Editors boil this down into a running file of just over 100,000 words daily that move out to the 21 news desks on internal "A" and "B" wires around the clock. Here editor Charles E. Barr studies incoming copy from East European news agencies.
