In return, Dayton, Ohio-based LexisNexis is providing its news research services to 17 Knight Ridder newspapers.
"Our agreement with LexisNexis is another major step in creating new revenue streams from Knight Ridder Digital Content," said Ken Doctor, vice president, content services for Knight Ridder Digital, San Jose, Calif.
