PRESSLINK TARGETS NEW ONLINE NEWSPAPER'S BIG NEED: "NEW FORMS OF CONTENT"

New Century Announcement Sparks Reaction from Top Photo/Graphics Service

Reston, VA--April 20--In hailing the formation of New Century Network, a
venture of eight of the nation's largest newspaper companies to create a
network of local online newspaper services, PressLink President Rich Cates
commented: "Online newspapers need robust visual and audio components and
PressLink will provide them--just as we now provide graphic content for
their printed counterparts." PressLink created the online delivery of
ready-to-publish materials in 1986 and continues to be the premier
supplier of online graphics and photos to news organizations.

"We are proud to already meet the content needs of New Century participants
in the print medium, and it makes sense that we will provide the new forms
of content required for online publishing," Cates continued. "This could
include interactive multimedia modules, HTML-based (HyperText Markup
Language-based) pages, and video. Customer demand will shape the
product."

He added, "When PressLink started ten years ago, we were the first to fill
a pressing need for ready-to-publish infographics online. Since then,
PressLink has delivered a growing selection of exclusive material from
multiple sources. With the need now extending beyond static photos and
infographics, PressLink will continue to provide this critical service to
New Century partners."
