National & International News From All Over

“News” is almost impossible to find these days from major outlets. What you have is infotainment, wrapped in the worldview of that particular outlet.

Consequently, Radio Newark has sought to provide a variety of news sources … from communist governments, to independent non-governmental public advocates, to university think tanks. We hope your eyes will be open and your minds stimulated.

Our current news sources are: Public News Service (USA), Industrial Info Resources (global), Voice of America, China Radio International, NHK (Japan), Deutsche Welle (Germany), Feature Story News (global), The Federal Newscast (Washington, D.C.), Consumer News (USA), Vatican Radio, and United Nations Radio.

Following the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which allowed for media cross-ownership, journalist Lark Corbeil of Idaho founded Public News Service as an avenue to examine and reach rural areas. Public News Service (usually shortened to PNS) was launched in 1996. Today, PNS has 40 state-based news services that provide multi-platform content for free to news outlets as a way to advocate journalism in the public interest. Josh Wise is the current Publisher.
