The CNN Wire Store, launched on Tuesday, 15 September 2009, is available globally to license and download individual CNN Wire stories for US$199 per story for a single use, utilising a credit card transaction. The site allows publishers to browse through CNN Wire articles, hold selected articles in a cart for review, check out, and download story content on demand.
“CNN understands the changing business landscape of journalism and the marketplace. The expanded CNN Wire provides an opportunity for a new platform to make CNN Wire stories easily accessible, and for the first time, on a per-story basis to any publisher, anywhere on their own timetable. With the launch of the CNN Wire Store website, we've made our original journalism easily available to other publishers on demand,” said Susan Grant, executive vice president of CNN News Services.
CNN Newsource Sales, which oversees the network's relationship with its affiliates in North America, will support the new CNN Wire Store commercial website.
With the CNN Wire Store website, publishers will have license and access to use the text that CNN uses. The text will include CNN's reporting, including consumer, politics, health, entertainment, technology and investigative, as well as economic and financial reporting of CNNMoney.com.
