RESTON, Va., Nov. 6, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- International photo agency Sipa Press, Inc. has joined Voxant's Viral Syndication Network(tm) to boost the online reach of its award-winning photographic content, Voxant announced today.
Sipa Press, whose staff of more than 27 photographers and 600 correspondents covers breaking world news ranging from entertainment to politics, distributes 2,000 images per day in 40 countries. Sipa Press content will be available to members of Voxant's Viral Syndication Network through TheNewsRoom when it launches later this month.
"Through Voxant's TheNewsRoom and its viral syndication, Sipa Press will now be able to reach thousands of Web sites and blogs and generate additional revenue streams for its award-winning photo content," says Jonathan Wells, Director of Sipa Press, Inc.
Voxant's Viral Syndication Network makes it easy for news publishers to distribute fully licensed video, print, audio and still photo content to thousands of Web sites and blogs. The content may be obtained from TheNewsRoom and redistributed to an infinite number of sites through viral mashing(tm), Voxant's unique process of embedding news content and advertising. Voxant's advertising-supported network is free to Web publishers and provides a new revenue stream to originating content providers and distributors. Voxant will provide ads for Sipa Press content, but many content providers supply their own advertising.
"Our news partners represent the most respected names in the news industry, including broadcasters, newspapers, wire services and distributors," Voxant CEO Jeff Crigler said. "We're thrilled to have Sipa Press join our network and provide thousands more high-quality photos from around the world for distribution."
