The Globe and Mail and Cision Enter Exclusive Distribution Partnership

Toronto (ots/PRNewswire) -

The Globe and Mail and Cision are pleased to announce that Cision
will be the exclusive electronic worldwide licensee of The Globe and
Mail content for news monitoring, press review, business intelligence
and research purposes.

Beginning in January 2019, the deal covers real-time multi-source,
aggregate searchable databases for clients in the corporate, library
and educational sectors.

"We take great pride in offering customers access to our
award-winning journalism, and know business users in Canada like to
reach The Globe through convenient platforms," says Phillip Crawley,
Publisher and CEO of The Globe and Mail. "We're pleased to have
Cision as our exclusive partner to ensure The Globe's content is
easily available through multi-source searchable databases updated in
real-time."

The Globe and Mail has the largest audience and weekly digital
readership of any publication in Canada and has invested heavily to
protect and license its content, continues Crawley. "Using Cision as
our trusted partner to help manage the permission and rights of our
content frees The Globe to focus on creating the compelling
journalism our readers expect."

The multi-year, multi-million-dollar deal is a significant
expansion of the long-term relationship between the two companies.
Content covered under the deal includes Report on Business magazine,
Style Advisor, a text archive of The Globe and Mail print product
from 1977 to present, and historical print pages from 1844 where
possible. Digitally it includes a text archive of web content from
2000 to present and Report on Business Top 1000 companies consisting
of company snapshots and profiles.

"Cision's recent technological investments have enabled automated
content flow, copyright payments, and usage reports for publishers,
reinforcing our position as a partner of choice in the content
aggregator market," says Nicole Guillot, President of Cision's
Canadian organization. "We work with the best and most respected
brands both in Canada and globally and are committed to ensuring a
