Axcess News
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AXcess News is a Web-based publisher of daily news articles, columns, features, and publicity.
Founded in 2002, AXcess News is one of the largest web-only news publishers. It is owned by NetAct America, Inc., which also owns 92 other news web sites that collectively comprise the single largest network of closely-held city news sites in the USA. AXcess News serves as the parent site of this network.
[edit] History
AXcess News started out as an online newsletter for a financial service and slowly evolved its publishing format but retained its financial market content.
By 2002 it had evolved into a news web publisher though still covering financial markets. During 2003 it expanded its news coverage to include the broad news topics it publishes today. In late 2003 it began developing its network approach to online news, adding the first 25 city news sites.
In 2004 the network of city news sites had expanded to 92 and AXcess News started syndicating online news for a Canadian online news network. A second online news network was also in development in the UK, and AXcess News then entered into reciprocating agreements to syndicate online news between both organizations.
As of 2005, AXcess News is preparing to join both the Canadian and United Kingdom based online publishing organizations in forming one global network, each publisher maintaining its own identity, yet all three cooperating to provide readers everywhere with high quality news as it breaks from across the 230 cities they serve.
