Enjoying #CharlestonAsia? Stop by table 17 to chat with Raj and @newsbankneil.bsky.social about primary source archive BBC Monitoring: Summary of World Broadcasts and current news source Access Global NewsBank.

#CharlestonConference
NewsBank and Readex table at the Charleston Asia conference. A table covered in a white drape with the NewsBank and Readex logos. Two banners behind the table. BBC Monitoring: Summary of World Broadcasts banner on right, medium blue, at the top, a photo of a man from the 1940s or 50s holding an analog telephone and next to an early communications control panel. Under the photo small text. On the left an Access Global NewsBank banner. At top a graphic of a tilted globe overlaid with glowing lines representing communications. Under the globe is the product name and additional text too small to distinguish from the photo.
