<h3><strong>Public Service Through the Spoken Word (G-4)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
Radio Free Asia also has a website that serves as an alternative way of reaching its potential audience. This website offers enriched content and detailed coverage of all of the key issues ongoing in Vietnam, with a primary focus on democracy, civil society and human rights. Although Vietnam has one of the region’s highest Internet penetration growth rates, the nation blocks the Radio Free Asia website and thereby prevents its approximately 40 million Internet users from accessing a source of independent and vital information unless such users circumvent the censorship by using secure browsers and virtual private networks (VPNs).
Based on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia (FRA), was established in the 1990’s, with the aim of promoting democratic values and human rights, and diminishing the Communist Party control of China. RFA is funded by a grant from the U.S. Agency for Global Media (formerly the "Broadcasting Board of Governors"), an independent agency of the United States government. In 2017, RFA and other networks, such as Voice of America, were put under the newly created U.S. Agency for Global Media, an independent federal agency. RFA is the only station outside of China that broadcasts in the Uygur-language. As a result, Radio Free Asia has been recognized for playing a vital role in exposing Xinjiang re-education camps. The New York Times considers RFA to be one of the few reliable sources of information about Xinjiang.
RFA broadcasts news and relevant information to the nations of China, Tibet, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Burma.
RFA adheres to the highest journalistic standards of objectivity, accuracy, and fairness, as defined in the code of ethics for its reporters and editors. In countries and regions with little or no access to accurate and timely journalism, as well as alternative opinions and perspectives, RFA’s nine language services fill a crucial gap. RFA aims to retain the greatest confidence among its audiences and to serve as a model on which others may shape their own emerging journalistic traditions.
RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation, funded by the U.S. Congress through the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which is an independent federal government agency that oversees all U.S. civilian international media. In addition to providing oversight for RFA's radio broadcasts and the like, the USAGM works with RFA to ensure the professional independence and integrity of its journalism.

Description
An account of the resource
In an address dated May 19, 2015, former President Obama's Senior Advisor and Chief Speechwriter, Cody Keenan, advises public service graduates to embrace the fear of failure. Fear of failure can help to push oneself in public service, and avoid the plague of complacency. Keenan concludes by stating that no matter how tough public service can be in terms of doubters, you must tread ahead and be able to take big risks.<br /><br /><p>Cody Keenan wrote speeches with and for former President Barack Obama for more than a decade. Throughout times of challenge and change, Keenan helped President Obama craft remarks on every topic for every audience, a key strongpoint that his career working for President Obama and Congess significantly highlight – Keenan could craft rhetoric for all topics that werre relatable and resonating to all listeners, with the same messaging ringing through from the tiny backyards in Iowa to the biggest stadiums in the country; from a sermon in Selma to Obama's farewell address. <br /><br />Keenan has been described as the “Springsteen” of Obama’s White House, and was named by British GQ as one of the “35 Coolest Men Under 38 (And a Half).” In January of 2017, after 36 years of hopefully waiting, Keenan finally earned and was thereby given the opportunity to write his "dream speech" – one in which President Obama welcomed the World Champion Chicago Cubs to the White House. Indeed, Keenan demonstrated quite impressive speechwriting career highlights galore!</p>
<p>Having received his higher education at both Northwestern University (class of '02) and Harvard University, Cody Keenan’s passion for public service was polished during his role as a young aide to Senator Edward Kennedy. Upon leaving the White House, President Obama asked Keenan to continue their partnership as his collaborator on his upcoming book, as well as as his post-presidential speechwriter, maintaining the close-knit bond the two had developed while President Obama was in office. </p>
