Subject: RFE/RL headline summary of major stories
Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003

David,

In order to better serve the needs of our many readers, RFE/RL will begin a news service in the next few days that will provide subscribers with a headline summary of major stories from our broadcast region. It will include both the major news stories from our central news division, as well as the analytical material produced by RFE/RL's renowned analysis team. One need only click on the relevant http: to be connected directly to the full story on our website. Most of our current subscribers will receive samples via email, and be asked if they wish to receive the service every day. Others interested in receiving the material can contact Melody Jones at 202-457-6949 or jonesme@rferl.org. They can also contact me directly.

Although the format is still tentative, I enclose a sample from today's news to show what we will be providing.

Regards,

Don Jensen
