How controversial is the move to return Radio Free Europe to member states of the European Union? Former President of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) Thomas Kent sheds light in an interview on the challenge to protect the free press, ensure transparency and information sovereignty.
Wojciech Przybylski: How do you define information sovereignty?
Thomas Kent: From my standpoint, information sovereignty is the right of the individual to have access to free information and to make one’s own choice about what information or wants to get. So it is an individual right and not a government right. I think the obligation of government is to guarantee the information sovereignty of individuals.
