This Central Intelligence Agency JPRS Report translation, dated 31 August 1991, reproduces a News Desk announcement from the Moscow newspaper PRAVDA headed 'We Will Buy News'. It explains that the paper's new status brings a new news concept, covering everything from encounters with 'flying saucers' to impromptu interviews with politicians. PRAVDA asks readers for suggestions, advice and news, says it is considering incentives for the freshest reports, and gives a news hotline number.
