The only stipulation is that papers join HSPA’s free content-sharing service, available at www.HSPAinfo.net. More than 80 HSPA-member papers currently share content through the program.
At www.HSPAinfo.net, editors can click on the Reuters tab to access wire content.
Papers also can explore with Reuters integrating the trial directly into their content management system.
Steve Key, HSPA executive director and general counsel, said the proposition is win-win.
“Newspapers can sample Reuters content and provide readers with information that they otherwise wouldn’t have,” he said. “Reuters gets to show potential customers its coverage with the hope of creating long-term relationships.
“It’ll be interesting to see what happens at the end of the trial period,” Key said.
The wire service has increased its U.S. news and sports coverage, according to Reuters.
