April 29th, 2013 No comments


NEWSPAPERDIRECT APP BUILDER

NewspaperDirect (ND) is very please to announce the launch of a brand new Windows 8 App Builder Program for our global newspaper and magazine publishing partners.

From now until the end of June 2013, ND’s publishing partners can apply to ND to help them fast-track their app development and publish their app into the global Windows (app) Store and showcase their content on all Windows 8-based tablets, laptops, ultrabooks, convertibles and desktops.

Publishers who participate in the NewspaperDirect’s App Builder Program for Windows 8 will receive:

The ability to stream Ads-in-Apps via the Microsoft Advertising Network and other valued-added marketing opportunities.

The growth in the popularity of Windows 8 reflects the shift in how people want to experience content across devices,” said Shane Davies , Director, Cloud Services Providers & Top Consumer Brands of Microsoft Canada. “Brands are already starting to get up close and personal with audiences in real time, on a global scale.  NewspaperDirect, a leader in magazine and newspaper applications, and their Windows 8 app will provide a platform for publishers to reach and engage their audience in compelling ways, and will provide consumers with a range of quality, brand name applications.

This program demonstrates ND’s on-going commitment to build multi-platform solutions for its publishing partners, ensuring their content is available across all devices, including the latest Windows 8-based tablets, laptops, ultrabooks, convertibles and desktops.

We’re seeing a new era in mobile and desktop computing from Microsoft and I have little doubt that Windows 8 devices will take a significant share of the tablet market,” said Alex Kroogman , CEO of NewspaperDirect.  “We’re in the early phases of mass-market penetration, so now is the perfect time for our publishers to ride the wave of what is soon to be the ubiquitous technology in the hands of a growing channel of business users and consumers.

Early participants in the program include the award-winning Spanish digital newsstand, Kiosko y más, and 12 publications from Edda Media of Norway, such as Drammens Tidende, Fredriksstad Blad and Moss Avis.

Publishers can take part in the Windows 8 App Builder Program by contacting publishing@newspaperdirect.com.

PressReader now available on BlackBerry 10 smartphones!

March 28th, 2013 No comments


Our award winning PressReader app is now part of the 100,000 apps available in the BlackBerry World App Store on the BlackBerry 10 platform.

BlackBerry users can now access their favorite publications from our growing list of more than 2,300 newspapers and magazines, including The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Globe and Mail, National Post, Le Journal de Montréal, La Presse, The Guardian, Daily Mail, Business Today, Money Today and the International Herald Tribune, to name just a few.

BB10

As always, our number one priority is to ensure that your reading experience is nothing less than spectacular which is why we’ve integrated our pioneer digital reading features with the BlackBerry Hub. With PressReader, you can:

  • Read pages and articles in full graphics or text-only views
  • Zoom, pan and scroll through pages and articles
  • Set up auto-delivery of titles when they are published

And unlike other news aggregation apps, which provide just snippets of articles and can only be fully read when connected to the internet, PressReader allows you to read entire publications offline once you’ve downloaded them to your BlackBerry device.

NewspaperDirect’s popular PressReader app leverages what BlackBerry 10 has to offer with a wealth of content that looks great on the high resolution displays of BlackBerry 10 smartphones.

-Martyn Mallick
Vice President of Global Alliances and Business Development at BlackBerry

Not only is PressReader great for newspaper and magazine junkies of the world, the new BlackBerry 10 release enables busy executives, managers, sales professionals and consultants who depend on a variety of news sources to:

  • Stay on top of what’s happening in local, national and global markets
  • Keep abreast of how the media covers themselves, partners, customers and competitors
  • Read unique perspectives on current affairs in foreign countries
  • Differentiate themselves with international clients and expatriate employees
  • Look for global business opportunities
  • Gather market intelligence
  • Catch up on the daily news from home when they’re on the road

PressReader for BlackBerry 10 has been officially released at the MPA Swipe 2.0 Conference in NYC.
