By: E&P Staff Turkish newspaper import distributor D?nya S?per Dagitim A.S. has become a licensed print and delivery partner of NewspaperDirect, Vancouver, British Columbia, with exclusive rights to market and sell the 800-plus publications available through NewspaperDirect. Rollout of services has begun.
NewspaperDirect license partners sell its digitally printed publications to all key segments, including: hotels, retail, home subscribers, corporate offices, embassies, airports, libraries, educational institutions and events.
NewspaperDirect's network includes The Daily Mail, The Guardian, International Herald Tribune, Le Figaro, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Frankfurter Allegemeine Zeitung, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, National Post, El Pais, The Sydney Morning Herald, Il Giornale, Yomiuri Shimbun.
Separately, NewspaperDirect also announced that the International Center for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association ruled in NewspaperDirect's case against ToDaily (Victory Interactive Media SA). The AAA found ToDaily liable for damages and issued a final award in favor of NewspaperDirect.
In March 2007, NewspaperDirect suspended its content feed to and ended its license agreement with ToDaily, prompted by concerns, it says, that its content was being misused by ToDaily, and that royalties due NewspaperDirect and its publisher partners were not being paid. Since then, NewspaperDirect sought damages in U.S. courts. The action is now concluded.
NewspaperDirect said the three-member panel's binding and final decision found ToDaily had breached its agreement by, among other things, failing to pay royalties when due and wrongfully competing with NewspaperDirect.
NewspaperDirect said it is taking steps to enforce the AAA's decision.
