London/New York, June 23, 2009
Breakingviews.com announced today a collaboration with The New York Times Syndicate to offer global distribution of its award-winning business news commentary and analysis to The Times’s syndication clients. The Times’s syndication clients will now be able to obtain the right to publish selected stories from Breakingviews.com in print and online.
Breakingviews.com content is already published in several leading newspapers, including The New York Times, the International Herald Tribune (the Global Edition of The New York Times), Le Monde, Handelsblatt, El Pais and La Stampa. Breakingviews will continue to manage these existing syndication relationships directly, but has granted The New York Times Syndicate the right to syndicate Breakingviews.com content to new clients.
“We are delighted to add Breakingviews.com to our portfolio of leading business and finance content available for syndication,” said Cristian Edwards, president, The New York Times News Services division. “Breakingviews is known for providing quick but very deep insight into the world of business and finance.”
Breakingviews.com is the leading agenda-setting financial commentary and analysis service for financial professionals. It was started in 1999 by the award-winning business journalist Hugo Dixon. The service employs 22 leading business journalists and analysts in London, New York, Washington, Paris, Madrid, San Francisco and Hong Kong.
“We at Breakingviews have been successful in syndicating our content to many international newspapers. However, we did not have the scale to meet the demand from all media outlets around the world. We are very pleased to have The New York Times Syndicate represent us in this effort. The Times is the world's leading syndication service for high-quality content and we are proud to collaborate with them,” said Mr. Dixon.
