Our Resource of the Month for May: BBC Monitoring

Posted on by

Each month, one of our Subject Librarians chooses an electronic resource which they feel will be of interest to you.

Jo Gardner sat at a desk with a computer in the Social Science Library.

May’s Resource of the Month has been selected by Jo Gardner, Bodleian Social Science Librarian and Subject Consultant for Politics and International Relations.

An open laptop on a table, with the words 'BBC Monitoring' on the screen. Next to the laptop are a cup of coffee and a notebook and pen.

Jo’s choice is BBC Monitoring. It was chosen because it is updated daily and aims to cover the world’s media accurately, impartially and with clear sourcing.

Overview

BBC Monitoring tracks, translates, summarises and analyses local media sources around the world. Its stated specialisms include: Russia, Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa, Sub Saharan Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Disinformation.
