The opportunity is especially valuable to news organizations since it provides a totally new revenue stream that does not in any way compete with the traditional sources of revenue of publishers
The largest association of news content publishers in Latin America, the Inter American Press Association (IAPA has entered into an agreement with the regional syndication leader and artificial intelligence data provider, ContentEngine, LLC., to provide an additional source of revenue for news publishers.
The ContentEngine syndication program will provide IAPA members with a channel to participate in Artificial Intelligence data syndication with the most prestigious research services globally, including LexisNexis, Dow Jones and ThomsonReuters among others. The opportunity is especially valuable to news organizations since it provides a totally new revenue stream that does not in any way compete with the traditional sources of revenue of publishers. 98% of subscribers that use the global distribution platforms of ContentEngine’s clients are corporate and institutional researchers based outside the Latin America region.
IAPA will feature the introduction of ContentEngine at the upcoming III Hemispheric Conference on Media and Digital Services, SIP Connect 2017, to be held in Miami June 21-23. More on SIP Connect at: http://en.sipiapa.org/notas/1211080-call-to-sipconnect-2017

About ContentEngine
ContentEngine’ s origins trace back to 1996 as International Media Services (IMS), a Latin America-focused media services company operating in 18 countries. In 2008, Canada’s largest private equity group, OMERS Private Equity, and Marketwired acquired GNCS. In 2016, GNCS became a part of NASDAQ and Hector Botero, the founder of GNCS, entered into negotiations to acquire GNCS back from NASDAQ, which resulted in the shutting down of GNCS and launching of ContentEngine to take over the existing business and expand with a greater focus on artificial intelligence (AI) applications in business, financial, legal and scientific content.
