The Russian News and Information Agency RIA Novosti is pleased to announce the launch of its new product – an English language newswire RIAN News Service.
RIAN News Service is an English language newswire providing real-time coverage of the key events in politics, economy, business, sports, culture and other areas of interest in Russia, Baltics and the CIS.
“Market research conducted by RIA Novosti among foreign subscribers in March-April 2005 has revealed a great need for a high-quality English language news product, which will cover events in Russia, the Baltics and the CIS”, - noted General Director Svetlana Mironyuk.
On the basis of demands made by RIA Novosti’s English speaking audience complete attention was paid to the speed, news selection and quality of translation our service provides.
