While poking around on the Australian Financial Review site for the last story, we came across this interesting announcement from Fairfax about their plans to cut syndication with Factiva and AAP and launch their own channels:
Fairfax Business Media ends Factiva and AAP News Centre contract
Fairfax Business Media has announced that effective 31 March 2007, its content will no longer be accessible via Factiva and AAP News Centre.
The decision to discontinue syndications follows our decision to develop our own channel and content management systems. As we have indicated with the launch of afraccess.com Fairfax Business Media aims to build a fully digital approach to its growing market opportunities.
Fairfax Business Media is developing a new service with search and monitoring of news across Fairfax content including deep archives.
Based on a usage model the service will incorporate content from all of the Fairfax Business Media titles including The Australian Financial Review, AFR Magazine, BOSS Magazine, BRW, AFR Smart Investor, Asset, CFO, and MIS as well as other major Fairfax mastheads.Fairfax Business Media are planning to have a BETA version of the new service by 31 March 2007, and those interested in receiving further information on the service can register their details here.
