NETGRAPHE INTENSIFIES ACTIVITIES IN FRANCE THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE MAGAZINE LE POINT AND AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
MONTREAL, Nov. 8 /CNW/ - On Thursday, November 4 last, Netgraphe (ticker symbol `WWW'), the publisher of the Multimédium Internet site announced its partnership with the highly reputed French weekly magazine, Le Point (www.lepoint.fr). The announcement was made on the occasion of the launch of Netgraphe's official website in Paris.
In Paris where the launch took place, Mr. André Bélanger, Netgraphe's Information Manager commented: ``Multimédium (www.mmedium.com), which is the
leading French-language e-zine specialized in new information and communication technologies (NICT), will enhance its partner's content through the addition of its highly respected analytical and critical input and by making its discussion forum available to Le Point readers''. Multimédium readers will also benefit from the agreement, since the content of Le Point will henceforth be available in Multimédium's e-zine.
Additionally, in order to expand its coverage in France, Multimédium will henceforth have a permanent correspondent in Paris, Elise Colette. Ms. Colette has just completed a three-month training period in the Montreal offices of Netgraphe.
Netgraphe also wishes to stress its agreement with Agence France-Presse (AFP), which will be communicating major NICT stories of international interest to Multimédium. Thanks to this coverage by AFP's many correspondents worldwide, Multimédium's own journalists will be able to focus on exclusive news stories and value-added content.
``These two agreements with Le Point and Agence France-Presse, which will be followed by other major projects, are all part of Netgraphe's move to establish a physical presence in Europe'', declared Mr. Marc Copti, Chair of the Board, during the launch.
Apart from Multimédium, Netgraphe operates a number of websites, including La Toile du Québec, the most popular portal in Quebec, which receives over 2 million hits per month, Mégaciciel, a director of over 6000 freebee software downloads, and Economédia, the major French-language e-zine
in Quebec in the field of economic and financial information.
Netgraphe is an Internet publishing house that takes advantage of opportunities made available by Internet in Quebec and throughout all French-speaking countries to develop business through the distribution of
content, advertising, e-commerce and other site design, implementation and maintenance services.
