International Herald Tribune to Publish World Business Section inside the Financial Chronicle in India
PARIS--(Business Wire)--
The International Herald Tribune (IHT) announced today that it
will expand in India with the launch of a branded world business
section inside the Financial Chronicle, the new Indian business paper
from the Deccan Chronicle Group. The IHT's section will debut with the
Financial Chronicle's Mumbai edition launch on June 20.
The IHT logo will feature prominently on the front page and inside
there will be a daily four-page version of its World Business with
Reuters section, giving Financial Chronicle readers daily news and
analysis on what is happening in companies and deals and in the
financial markets around the world. This latest development for the
IHT builds on recent expansion of its circulation in New Delhi and
Mumbai where the paper is now available early each morning.
Stephen Dunbar-Johnson, publisher of the IHT said: " Working with
the Deccan Chronicle Group, a dynamic company with a proven track
record in the market, will allow us to meet the growing appetite for
high quality business content in India and make the IHT available to
thousands more readers each morning throughout the country."
T. Venkattram Reddy, the chairman of Deccan Chronicle Holdings
Limited, said: "The Financial Chronicle, our newest title, was
launched to satisfy India's thirst for quality business news and
crafted as a pure-play business daily to build on the aspirations of a
young and prosperous India. We could not have asked for a better
publisher than the IHT to provide the international business
dimension."
