Branded Scribd reader launches for media companies!

October 7, 2009

Whether it’s Katie Couric’sNotebook, President Obama’s YouTubeFireside Chats, or Anne Curry’s Tweets,news has become incrediblytransparent.

Today, Scribd is breaking down the lastbarrier for news transparency bylaunching branded Scribd readers for leading news outlets and blogs,including The New York Times, LosAngeles Times, Chicago Tribune, TheHuffingtonPost,TechCrunch, Mediabistro.

Branded Scribd readers enable mediacompanies to share source materialsdirectly with readers by embeddingcourt filings, memos, and reports innews articles; retain official brandedattribution for source materials whereverthey’re shared across the Web; andoffer easy access to news articles bylinking Scribd documents with therelated stories.

In addition to changing the way peopleconsume news, the branded Scribdreader offers news organizations a

unique way to present source material as an important part of the story, both on and off their Websites. For more information about how to apply for the branded Scribd reader or when we’replanning to launch branded readers for non-media companies, read “Branded Scribd Reader: User Guide.”
