BOSTON--(Business Wire)--
GlobalPost.com, a U.S.-based international news Web site, announces that two of
the nation`s top papers, the New York Daily News and The Star-Ledger, based in
Newark, NJ, have signed contracts to run GlobalPost`s foreign reporting in their
pages and on their Web sites. The agreement gives the papers the ability to
publish original reporting generated by GlobalPost`s network of more than 60
correspondents in 40+ countries. The Daily News will also run GlobalPost reports
on its site www.nydailynews.com, and GlobalPost stories will be available at the
Star-Ledger`s site, www.nj.com. 

"We are proud to be working with these two venerable papers with storied
histories and top-notch reputations for delivering high-quality journalism,"
said GlobalPost President and CEO Philip S. Balboni. "We are encouraged that
delivering well-reported news, analysis and perspectives from around the world
to their readerships remains a priority. Our syndication service provides a
valuable resource to news publishers by allowing them to tap into the reporting
provided by our extraordinary team of correspondents and to do so in a very
cost-effective way." 

Winner of 11 Pulitzer prizes, the New York Daily News has the fifth largest
daily circulation in the nation and a reputation for hard-hitting journalism. In
addition to print readership, NYDailyNews.com features 13 million unique users

"Our partnership with GlobalPost will allow the Daily News to expand our content
reach and provide our readers with enhanced international and national news
coverage in print and online," said Marc Kramer, CEO of the New York Daily News.
"New York boasts one of the most diverse populations in the world and as New
York`s most widely read newspaper, our goal is provide stories of interest to
the many communities that call New York home." 

New Jersey`s most widely circulated newspaper, The Star-Ledger was the recipient
of the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting in 2005 and for photography in
2001. 

"The Star-Ledger is pleased to be a GlobalPost charter subscriber," said Jim
Willse, editor of The Star-Ledger. "In these days of shrinking editorial
resources, GlobalPost offers a way to maintain our commitment to overseas news
by providing reporting that`s both deep and unique."
