Soomo Publishing and CQ Press Release Integrated Online Text That's Priced Right

LOS ANGELES, LONDON, NEW DELHI, India, SINGAPORE and WASHINGTON, April 29
/PRNewswire/ -- The College Publishing Group of CQ Press, which publishes
authoritative textbooks on political science and journalism, today announced a
partnership with Soomo Publishing, publisher of web-based ancillaries for the
college market. This partnership between two independent publishers will
provide instructors and students in American Government courses with a low
cost instructional package jam-packed with top-notch content and engaging new
media.

With the new agreement, Soomo will incorporate the brief version of CQ Press's
Keeping the Republic by Christine Barbour and Gerald Wright into their
web-based product, Americans Governing (americansgoverning.com). Reflecting
updated changes through the 2008 elections, and analysis of new scholarship,
Keeping the Republic will add information on the "who, what, and how" of
American politics to Americans Governing, a key online resource that draws
from documentaries, essays, primary documents, interviews, magazines, blogs,
journals, campaign commercials and more, to present a collection of
interactions that leave students wanting to know more.

"Americans Governing provides ready-to-use, interactive assignments that tap
into the incredible wealth of web resources available", said David Lindrum,
CEO of Soomo Publishing. "Coupling it with Keeping the Republic, an
outstanding text that speaks clearly and with relevance to students, has
resulted in a dynamic and complete course package that students will be able
to purchase for only $50."

"We're pleased to incorporate Keeping the Republic into the well-received
Americans Governing," commented Brenda Carter, Executive Director of the CQ
Press College Publishing Group. "Soomo's online resources engage students,
challenge the status quo, and do so at a reasonable price - something we've
also continuously worked toward here at CQ Press. And this latest version of
Americans Governing, with the new CQ Press content, will be available for
instructors to use as soon as the fall 2009 semester."
