Soviet Press Material Paid by Embassy Widens Reach
The Soviet Embassy pays North American Precis Syndicate to distribute newslike releases to about 3,800 newspapers and 5,000 radio stations in the United States. The AP notes the material is legal if filed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and often portrays U.S.-Soviet friendship and cooperation. Levy defends the service as informative, while editors warn about clear labeling and potential bias.
