(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080521/NEW122LOGO ) John Day, RISI's CEO, explained, "We developed PPI Markets & Prices in response to two important trends: The globalization of pulp and paper markets, and the increasingly short news cycles in media today. Rather than searching for information in various weekly printed newsletters, our subscribers can now access market prices and news within an easy-to-navigate web site." The new service also provides an enhanced user experience. Subscriptions include access to daily breaking industry news as well as online tools that let users build customized price tables and compare prices in eight currencies. PPI Markets & Prices is available in several different services that provide subscribers with coverage of just the region or grade they need: PPI Pulp & Paper Week (North America), PPI Europe (formerly PPI This Week), PPI Asia, PPI Latin America, PPI Fiber (covering pulp and recovered paper grades), PPI Packaging and PPI Graphic Papers. The PPI Global service, which includes content for all grades and regions, is also available. More information about the new service is available at http://www.risiinfo.com/mps.
