The FreePint Topic Series: News, and Beyond is well underway, with a wide range of free and Subscription-only resources relating to how news content is acquired, discovered, distributed and valued in organisations today.

The latest Subscription Update highlights recent and upcoming resources, particularly:

• Webinars: Is Our Need for News What It Used to Be? and Right Suppliers, Right Needs: A Competitive Analysis of Suppliers
  
  
• Community of Practice: The Value of News, for Research and Awareness (New York, 10th November), and two teleconferences: Current Awareness Options and Value Proposition and In-depth Research Options and Value Proposition
  
  
• In-depth reviews of NewsEdge.com and Factiva (to come).

We're also finishing data collection this week on the FreePint Survey: News Needs & Preferences 2014. Complete the survey if you haven't yet done so (and receive a free copy of the final report), and read about results to date on satisfaction with key suppliers like Factiva and Nexis.

It's also not too early to be thinking about adding or expanding your FreePint Subscription as part of your 2015 budget:
