History
Agenția de presă RADOR was founded on June 16, 1921, replacing the first national news agency, disbanded in 1916 when Romania entered World War I. RADOR was the only Romanian large national news agency in the interwar period. During that time, the "RADOR" name was derived from "Radio Orient"; nowadays, "RADOR" means "Radio Observator".

Apart from its press monitoring service, RADOR also encompasses the "Dimitrie Gusti" Documentation Center, that creates daily, weekly, and quarterly calendars of events, and the RADOR Library, an important documentation source for all Radio Romania departments. The library has about 55,000 volumes, including rare books and princeps editions.
