Welcome to the "RUSSIAN PRESS ELECTRONIC COURIER"
- A Russian News Service -
Enjoy access to the broadest selection of comprehensive news titles
from throughout Russia and the other CIS countries via one of
Russia's foremost press-monitoring agencies, "What the Papers Say"
(WPS) and the Tver InterContact Group, an independent association of
academic, research and consulting organizations specializing in
international communication and cultural exchange.
WPS monitors one-sixth of the world's news media, including about a
thousand daily and weekly newspapers and magazines, and all of
Russia's major television and radio broadcasts around the clock.
Our surveys and news releases are indispensable tools for
newsmakers, diplomats, academic analysts and businessmen who work or
have interests in Russia and the CIS. Political events; business
and culture; ethnic conflicts and peace negotiations; new political
and public -- organizations; elections and appointments; polls and
statistical reports -- these and many other topics are featured in
our daily coverage.
THE PERFECT SOLUTION
FOR LOCATING THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS ITEMS
On average, our daily English-language production includes 100
digested articles and transcripts covering essentially all possible
topics and areas of interest. Without an effective search tool it is
difficult to locate the right selection of news items that are most
important to you.
