Bay Fang
Bay Fang is the president of Radio Free Asia (RFA), a media organization that provides news and information to audiences in countries with limited press freedom, particularly China and North Korea. Recently, she has been in the news for her strong condemnation of the U.S. Agency for Global Media's (USAGM) decision to terminate funding for RFA, which she described as a reward for dictatorships and a significant blow to the right to information for nearly 60 million weekly listeners.
