Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 26, No. 11. 1963.

How Foreign News Reaches Salient

How Foreign News Reaches Salient

From Time To Time Salient prints material received from various press agencies which service this paper.

NZSPA (New Zealand Student Press Association) is the national association of student newspapers. It has its headquarters in Wellington, and its president is Rob Laking, former Salient staffer.

IIYA (Institute for International Youth Affairs) is an American foundation, publishes a monthly bulletin called News Features, which Salient has used frequently, and a magazine called Youth And Freedom.

Student Mirror is an independent news service based in Berlin, and run in co-operation with the International Student Conference. Publishes a fortnightly digest of newspaper (student or otherwise) articles. Salient has occasionally been the source for these.

The Student is an International Student Magazine published by the Co-ordinating Secretariat of the ISC, to which NZUSA is affiliated.

World Student News is an International Student Magazine published by the International Union of Students. The IUS is based in Prague, and was once the only International student body. The pro-Western unions broke away in the late forties to found the ISC. The IUS is pro-Soviet, anti-Chinese, and their bulletins reflect this bias.

In addition there are a number of government agencies which release material to Salient. The main ones are:

USIA (United States Information Agency), directed by well-known broadcaster Edward R. Murrow. This is one of the more useful government agencies, as its bulletins are usually fairly factual and comprehensive.

British Information Services: Publishes a regular bulletin called "Background to the News."

Soviet Information Bureau: Distributes Moscow News Letter, and other publications with all the latest in the Sino-Soviet dispute.

There are also news bulletins from Rumania and Bulgaria.
