Sources announces a publishing breakthrough:
A media directory that's user-friendly and affordable

March 23, 2000

Barely three months into the Year 2000, Sources is launching a novel product not available in the twentieth century: a media directory that is easy to use, well organized, and affordable.

"This is a directory for people who don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for the privilege of swapping piles of loose-leaf pages in and out of a binder every month," said Publisher Ulli Diemer, announcing the first-ever issue of Media Names & Numbers. "And it's for people who have been waiting for a media directory that's professionally cross-indexed by subject, language, media type, and geographical location. In short, it's for organizations and companies who want a high-quality media list at a reasonable price."

Media Names & Numbers offers complete coverage of:

National, local and cable TV stations
Radio stations
Daily newspapers
Community newspapers
Ethnic publications
Campus newspapers
Consumer magazines
Trade magazines
Scientific and scholarly journals
Newsletters
Press galleries
Selected directories

Media Names & Numbers retails for $89.95 + GST. The purchase price includes the 344-page print edition, published annually, and access to the electronic database version on the Sources Internet site at www.sources.com

Media Names & Numbers is designed to meet the needs of anyone who needs detailed comprehensive information about all of Canada's print and broadcast media, including those engaged in media relations, public relations, marketing, and advertising. It's also perfect for freelance writers targeting queries and submissions, and for researchers, associations, and libraries.

Media Names & Numbers is published by Sources, publishers of the Sources directory since 1977, and of the government directory Parliamentary Names & Numbers.
