Foreign Broadcast Information Service
The Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) Daily Report has been the United States’ principal record of political and historical open source intelligence for nearly 70 years. The original mission of the FBIS was to monitor, record, transcribe, and translate intercepted radio broadcasts from foreign governments, official news services, and clandestine broadcasts from occupied territories. FBIS Daily Reports, 1974–1996, constitutes a unique archive of transcripts of foreign broadcasts and news that provides insight into the second half of the 20th century; many of these materials are firsthand reports of events as they occurred.
FBIS Daily Reports, 1974–1996 consist of translated broadcasts, news agency transmissions, newspapers, periodicals, and government statements from nations around the globe. These media sources were monitored in their languages of origin, translated into English, and issued by an agency of the US government. FBIS Daily reports cover the following regions and dates:
- Middle East and North Africa, 1974–1987
- Near East and South Asia, 1987–1996
- South Asia, 1980–1987
- Sub-Saharan Africa, 1974–1980 and
- Africa, 1987–1996
- Eastern Europe, 1974–1996
FBIS is accessed on and off campus via the student and staff portal. The eresources at Greenwich PDF can be viewed online or downloaded for more information.
