| Why
is a password required to
access the IPS daily news
service? |
| Because
the IPS DAILY news
service is available only
by subscription. Weekly
and bi-monthly bulletins,
however, are free. |
| |
| What
is the subscription rate
for media and non-media
concerns? |
| Rates
vary according to regions
and countries. Please
contact your nearest IPS
regional office. |
| |
| May
I reproduce IPS news reports? |
| No, sorry.
IPS stories are protected
by copyright laws.
Reproduction rights
require a specific
agreement. |
| |
| May
I cross-post IPS stories
retrieved from the
Bulletin Board or the
Web? |
| Only
with written permission,
to be obtained at the
respective regional
center. |
| |
| Many
NGOs and newspapers would
like to use and
distribute the IPS news
service, but cannot
afford commercial rates.
If IPS is a non-profit
organization, why does it
charge for its products? |
| IPS
is an independent
international association
of journalists and, while
it is not a commercial
enterprise intent on
profit, we cannot afford
to run at a loss. Limited
sources of funding are
unable to sustain the
worldwide IPS
journalistic product and
like other
development-oriented
agencies, we have
suffered from the
dramatic drop in
international development
assistance. IPS, however,
subsidizes most of its
customers in the South
and has a flexible
approach to subscription
rates. |
