UN Radio in Chinese excellent resource for reading/listening to news in Chinese

[mscarson]

The website: http://www.unmultimedia.org/radio/chinese/ has an extensive archive of thousands of news articles and magazines in Chinese (as well as all other UN languages).  Each article includes a word for word transcript and audio read by different reporters.  Many of the magazine articles are 10 minutes and over of dialogue along with accurate transcripts.

 

It's all free and extremely beneficial to students in the intermediate-advanced levels!

I've checked it out, great resource  - especially for practicing names of countries, cities, and political leaders ;)

Thank you so much for recommending this! This is exactly what I've been looking for for a long time.

Good resource. If you like his sort of thing then the BBC Chinese language site is also good. But often blocked in the mainland.

just wanted to bump this, as this is a resource I didn't know about and appears to be high quality and reliable for those who want/need daily practice in listening to international current affairs in standard putonghua. exactly what I need right now
