| Factiva has announced the launch of Content Community (http://www.factiva.com/contentcomm),
a new portal dedicated to the providers of Factiva's collection of news
and business information. Members of the Content Community portal include
representatives from more than 8,000 sources spanning approximately 75
countries around the world. Through the portal, publishers can access regular
news and industry updates about new trends and technology, as well as information
on products and services that can facilitate electronic delivery of content
to various markets. In addition, the portal provides case studies of publishers
that have forged content relationships with Factiva, and tools for information
providers to update source information and submit content-amendment requests.
"The Content Community portal furthers Factiva's strategy to build communities
that facilitate better and more efficient communication and relationships
with our partners and major audiences," said Clare Hart, Factiva's president
and CEO. "With a myriad of different delivery options for publishers, the
Content Community portal meets the needs of Factiva's content providers,
giving them access to the information and tools they need to maximize the
value of their content-distribution and -licensing arrangements."
"It is refreshing to see companies like Factiva place such an emphasis
on publisher relationships by establishing a community that caters to the
needs of the industry," said Andrea D. Broadbent, director of corporate
licensing at The McGraw-Hill Companies. "The Content Community portal gives
The McGraw-Hill Companies several innovative tools that allow us to monitor
our content relationship with Factiva quickly and easily."
A password-protected area of the Content Community portal will be added
this year. It will allow information providers to track content quality
and delivery statistics of more than 60,000 articles flowing into Factiva's
content collection each day, and access their royalty and usage information,
as well as let members talk to one another.
