(C) CIA's 'WIRe' Is Now Online...
FROM: Geoffrey K. Fowler
Managing Editor, World Intelligence Review (CIA)
Run Date: 12/01/2006
(C) Editor's note: This summer CIA launched the "WIRe" as its premiere corporate intelligence
publication (see the related article ), containing all-source, finished intelligence. Now, the WIRe
is available online, via Intelink. The roll-out announcement follows:
(C) CIA's Directorate of Intelligence is pleased to announce the launch of the World Intelligence
Review (WIRe) online -- a JWICs-based version of, and companion to, the daily printed WIRe
product. The WIRe online utilizes modern Web technology and tools to convey the full scope of
WIRe content in a graphical user interface patterned after the best of public online content
presentation.
(C) While the WIRe online and the WIRe hardcopy initially will closely parallel each other with
the same selection of articles and general content, the WIRe online reflects a substantial new
area of emphasis and expansion of support for our readers. Because of its online nature, we
anticipate being able to make many WIRe articles available in a much more robust and timely
fashion than is possible with the hardcopy, and users will quickly recognize the substantially
enhanced experience provided by the online presentation. Unlike the hardcopy, all published
WIRe content is available at your fingertips--not just today's edition--thus allowing users to
quickly assess the flow of analysis on key issues.
(C) Individual articles are presented with supporting graphics, and many include multimedia,
interactive, and video content not presented in the hardcopy edition. Related articles are also
available to viewers as are robust search tools, grouping of content by region and issue for easy
review, open-source content, and useful references such as leadership profiles and the World
Factbook. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds are supported for users who want to be
updated regarding changes in the site.
(C) WIRe readers other than named recipients of the hardcopy version may review TS//SI/TK
WIRe content via the
site. Customers may continue to access the full
archive of CIA reporting available on CIASource by directing their browser to
or through the CIASource link available on the WIRe online.
(C) Readers will recall from our inaugural edition that the transition to the WIRe was a first step
in a broader DI [Directorate of Intelligence] initiative, and that planned hallmarks of the WIRe
were flexibility of presentation, quality, depth of content, and our commitment to provide timely,
comprehensive, and rich insights. With today's issue, the WIRe has reached its 1,000th article
published and reaffirms through the deployment of the WIRe online its commitment to pioneer
on behalf of its readership. As always, the WIRe invites your continued feedback.
