To our readers: Creative Industries News now offers access to over 2,000 articles

Published

on

This week, Creative Industries News reached a new milestone: There are now over 2,000 articles available on our site. When we started last September, the site offered access to less than 800 articles from our archives. 

This is significant because it highlights our constant efforts to cover all the news relevant to people working at the intersection of the creative sector and the digital ecosystem.

As they say in marketing courses, this is our USP. Nowhere else can you find such a depth of articles about changes in the copyright law frameworks around the world, and on the business of content licensing in the digital age.

Valuing every single subscriber

And this is reflected in our readership. Our readers are rights owners, trade bodies, regulators and policy-makers, licensors and licensees, collective management organisations, digital platforms, investors, lawyers, creators, tech experts, who are all united by the importance and the relevance of creative content in the digital age.

We value every single subscriber and the trust you have put in this project. You have voted with your wallets and that matters to us.

That’s why we continue to build on this foundation to continue to offer more relevant stories to help you make better informed decisions, and stay abreast of the constant changes in the marketplace.

A truly independent source of information

Creative Industries News is a truly independent source of information on the creative and digital sectors. If you really appreciate the service we are providing, please spread the word to your work colleagues, friends and business associates.

Thank you again for your support.
