Achieving a free and responsible media is a constant, challenging, vital, and ongoing activity. We must continue to work at it, adapting to new conditions and challenges. We must keep in sight the ultimate objective -- a citizenry able to make informed decisions that shape their lives. http://www.america.gov/esp256 KB Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:10:55 -0400
