What is Inter-Press ?

Inter-Press is a platform for the centralisation and spreading of information, developed for journalists by a professional team of journalists.

Its goal: to improve individual access to information for all journalists (with press releases, press files, company reviews).

To achieve this goal, Inter-press uses the possibilities of the information age and Internet.

Two kinds of information are being spread on the net:

• Rough information provided by 'information providers' (Multinationals, Small Businesses, NGO's, and other companies).
• Reviews of these companies with a description of the activities of these 'information providers'.

This allows any journalist direct access to a huge amount of data facilitating his work no matter his location.

It's a beautiful story...

In November 1996, the idea for a Journalist Association, using the potential of new technologies, took shape in the heads of a few journalists who were convinced that the evolving means of communication would fundamentally impact their work.

In June 1997, we ventured out on what we have come to call our "Great Adventure". Inter-Press, the first Belgian website for the exclusive use of journalists, had been created. After a long road we are now able to offer a user friendly and complete service which is constantly in motion. Since then hard work and perseverance proved necessary; we had to persuade and convince!

Today the results have exceeded our expectations: the numbers speak for themselves.
28200 journalists in France, 6.000 in Belgium, 14.000 in Europe.

More than 500 companies, associations, NGO's, spread their information to journalists through Inter-Press using our site as a work and communication tool.
