Info-Prim Neo launches new new Website

The news agency Info-Prim Neo (IPN) launched a new Website on 1 March, in order to ensure the presence of its products and services online, under the IPN trademark. According to the Web concept of the agency, the story from the event chosen as the top news will be placed on the first page and it will be an open source for all visitors. IPN will be flexible and open to changes during the day, therefore the first page story may be replaced, if another dominating theme arises. The materials are stored in eight basic areas: Economics, Society, Politics, Local News, Business, Miscellaneous, Crime, and International. There are two special areas: Telecom & Audiovisual and Science & Nature. The access to all basic materials, except for the special areas, will be free of charge for everyone during the first week. Subscribers will also benefit from an Event Agenda and from a Dates Calendar for next day. Last January, IPN released a new information product, called IPN Economics & Business, which is a distinct package from the principal flow. The materials are available in three languages: Romanian, Russian, and English. Upon request, they can be translated into French or Spanish as well. The agency offers news stories, analyses, commentaries, and interviews, on a variety of themes of major interest. „The pluralism of opinions is the main and mandatory element in our materials. What makes IPN different from other similar institutions is the pronounced presence of news about local communities. We cover events of local significance both in Chisinau and in other settlements,” said the Info-Prim Neo director, Valeriu Vasilica. Another advantage is the possibility to listen to and download audio records taken from events, straight from the Website. This sort of technology is present especially on the Websites of radio stations or on the international mega-portals of television companies. „In the future, we shall launch a video service, too, and now the possibility to see those we are writing about from the photographic images we take at events,” the IPN director said. The new Website of the agency allows the automatic dissemination of news after the editing to the electronic mails of subscribers. The Website has been designed and built by the team. In connection with the expanding service, certain changes may occur on the site, in the sense of continued improvement. The URL of the IPN Website is www.info-prim.md. The user name during the promotion period (1-7 March) is „guest”, and the password is „welcome”. IPN agency was registered with the Ministry of Justice in June 2005, as a private legal entity. It is made up of the team and professional experience gained during seven years as the Info-Prim municipal news agency. After its closure by the Chisinau Municipal Council in spring last year, the Info-Prim team has survived under extreme conditions, working without own equipment and office seven days a week.
