World News Connection

World News Connection

World News Connection (WNC) is the online offering from the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS)that replaces the hard-copy regionally-oriented "pink books" that used to be among the most prized government publications among academics, who received them free. Due to a shift in the 1990's toward copyright compliance, the online version is a severely limited rendition of what is available for internal government use, and deprives the academic and larger research communities of full access to all that is done by FBIS at taxpayer expense.

DIALOG, a commercial search service from Thompson Scientific, offers an alternative but fee-based means of accessing WNC content.
