LexisNexis to distribute APO wire service

20 May 2010

The African Press Organisation (APO), earlier this week, announced its partnership with LexisNexis to distribute its wire service via nexis.com.

Through an agreement with the multi-lingual wire service, news releases issued by governments, political organisations, NGOs and United Nations duty stations across Africa concerning the continent's political, legal and social events and news will be made available to journalists, government and corporate researchers who depend on nexis.com as their source of information.

"The agreement means that customers will be offered quick access to current news releases from the African's most important institutions such as the African Union Commission and the African Development Bank," says Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard, APO's Franco-Gabonese general secretary.

The African Press Organisation is also partner to PR Newswire, a global news and information distribution service for communicators (www.prnewswire.com).
