Released just in time for World Press Freedom Day on May 3, this 2025 Jacknife Lee remix of the R.E.M. classic is part of a 5-song EP, which benefits Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which was established 75 years ago to ensure freedom of the press worldwide, especially in places where the press is banned or under attack. The video also includes facts about the history of the RFE/RL and other facts about attacks on the media. The song is even more relevant now with the Trump administration’s adversarial approach to the news media and global efforts to muzzle the press.
