Summary Note
Jim Jones reads the news for August 16, 1978. As with most of the news tapes from this period, Jones seems to rely upon news wires from the Soviet Union for his information. He quotes Radio Moscow by name several times, although he does mention reports from the BBC and – more disparagingly – from the Voice of America. Full summary of the recording available at Alternative Considerations of Jonestown website, along with the tape transcript.
