SAN FRANCISCO, February 25 /PRNewswire/ --

- Partnership with Acceso, a company part-owned by Havas Media, will 
further extend Zinio's reach in Europe and Latin America

Zinio (http://www.zinio.com), the leading online publishing, distribution
and retail services company, announced two pivotal initiatives today; the
launch of an online Global Newsstand; and a partnership spanning Europe and
Latin America with Acceso Group, a company part-owned by both Havas Media --
the media division of Havas, one of the largest communication and advertising
groups worldwide -- and ISP. Zinio's new global initiative provides
publishers increased reach and introduces more variety for consumers with an
expanded selection of magazine titles and a choice between online or offline
reading capabilities.

"As more consumers adopt digital lifestyles and traditional print
publishers look to the Web for solutions, Zinio continues to provide the most
choice, ease of use and added convenience," said Rich Maggiotto, Zinio's CEO.
"With Zinio's Global Newsstand, publishers can offer consumers popular
domestic and international publications in one convenient location, while
still providing the highest-fidelity, digital reading experience. Consumers
will be able to select and navigate by country or language, and have the
ability to make purchases with the currency of their choice."

"The Zinio Global Newsstand is 'long tail' at its most powerful. In a
marketplace where access is traditionally defined by geographic scale of
demand, Zinio enables mass and niche interest communities worldwide to
connect with specific magazine content regardless of local market demand
viability," said Joan Sola, Acceso Group's CEO.

Zinio Global Newsstand -- The first of its kind, Zinio's Global Newsstand
offers magazine publishers the ability to easily circulate their publications
worldwide, a task previously limited by constraints of print costs,
distribution and inventory. Today, more than 850 digital consumer magazine
titles actively sell and deploy their content online in multiple languages,
across more than 200 countries, using Zinio's platform. Zinio aims to expand
that number to more than 2,000 top-tier titles within the year by
collaborating with Havas Media global network.

Publishers who join will also have access to a new resource center that
includes the ability to work closely with Zinio's Publisher Growth Services
Group (PGS Group) to create tailored marketing programs, as an extension to
their own resources. The PGS Group helps publishers build stronger
recognition for their titles and brand while increasing a variety of
circulation and advertising revenue streams.

Zinio Global Partnership -- Zinio expects to further expand its
organically developed international footprint across countries in Europe and
Latin America by partnering with Acceso Group and collectively with Havas
Media. For the publishing and advertising industries, this media
collaboration offers new digital opportunities for global export and
interactivity.

"We believe that Zinio's superior technology and online marketing
services for publishers will drastically increase the appeal and usage of
digital publications. We want to be ahead of this process and be able to
fully exploit for our clients the possibilities of this promising interactive
channel," said Alfonso Rodes, CEO of Havas Media.

"This is a climactic time for the publishing industry," said Maggiotto,
"With the depth and breadth of Havas Media's global communications
experience, and the high-fidelity digital reading experience Zinio offers, we
are creating a new chapter in history by offering publishers and consumers an
international extension that localizes their reading experience, while
preserving the integrity of the magazine brand for consumers and
advertisers."
