NewspaperDirect Launches “Say No to Newsprint, Say Yes to Newspapers” Corporate Sustainability Program

Monday 10. March 2008 - GLOBE 2008 Attendees Receive 1 Month's Free Access to PressDisplay.com

NewspaperDirect Inc., the world leader in multi-channel newspaper and magazine content distribution, is launching its “Say NO to newsprint, say YES to newspapers” corporate sustainability program at GLOBE 2008, March 12-14, 2008 in Vancouver, BC.
With “Say NO to Newsprint, Say YES to Newspapers,” NewspaperDirect is offering businesses and governments an environmentally friendly alternative to the printed newspapers they normally purchase in bulk for the office. The program is designed to support an organization’s efforts to create a “greener” environment at the office and in the homes of their employees.
PressDisplay.com will give employees instant access to more than 600 publications from 74 countries in 38 languages on their PCs, Macs, smart phones, BlackBerry devices, iPhones and iPod Touch devices, often before they hit the news stands.
PressDisplay.com also enhances the reading experience with a customizable user interface, easy-to-use navigation tools and powerful keyword searching, media monitoring, email sharing, blogging, instant translation in up to 12 languages, integrated audio, back issue access, photo galleries and social network interfaces to Facebook, Digg and Del.icio.us.
“With global warming at the top of the public agenda, successful businesses understand that corporate sustainability has moved beyond brand-promoting philanthropy and has become an operational imperative to corporate excellence and a more profitable bottom line,” said Alexander Kroogman, CEO of NewspaperDirect. “Our ‘Say NO to Newsprint, Say YES to Newspapers’ program lets companies provide employees personal use access to PressDisplay.com for about the price of a single newspaper subscription — at home, at work, during their commute, or when traveling.”
As a media sponsor of GLOBE 2008, NewspaperDirect is offering all attendees one month of free online access to the PressDisplay.com service. They simply have to register at www.pressdisplay.com using offer code: GLOBE 2008.
“GLOBE 2008 attracts thousands of environmental business and government leaders who value instant access to business-critical information no matter where they are,” said Nancy Wright, vice president of marketing for The GLOBE Foundation. “Corporate sustainability is a key theme of GLOBE 2008, and so we are pleased to be able to offer attendees access to PressDisplay.com, a more sustainable option for tracking important issues in mainstream media from around the world.”
PressDisplay.com is a standard offering at hundreds of libraries around the world and is accessed by millions of users every day who have, collectively, saved more than 24,000 trees by choosing to read their favorite newspapers on PressDisplay.com, rather than in print.
