FAQ on Russian press digests and surveys
How does a digest differ from customized press clipping service?
A digest brings the reader what's new on his subject of interest in the Russian print media. Press clipping service is provided in compliance with the client's order. It is targeted at bringing the client all articles relevant to his search profile. In other words, the goal of a digest is novelty, while the goal of clipping service is completeness. Second, articles in the digest are usually abridged, while clipping service brings you articles in full. Finally, each digest has a fixed subscription price, while the cost of clipping service may vary widely depending on the amount of coverage found. When choosing between subscription to a specialized digest and customized clipping service one should bear in mind the possibility of combining both services. It makes sense if your subject of interest is wide. Then you will probably get the best value for your money. The digest will bring you the most important news on your subject, while customized clippings (your search profile may be significantly narrowed down in this case) will provide supplementing material of your specific interest. What are the news sources for your digests?
We read about 50 Russia's most influential and popular general-interest and business newspapers and magazines. Some digests, published in Russian, are based on regional newspapers, others are compiled from electronic media news. You can review the listing. Why should I subscribe to your digests if I read all professional press on my subject?
Lots of facts, figures and comments valuable for a professional are scattered across the pages of general-interest dailies and weeklies. Picking all this material is time-consuming and costly. However, these general-interest publications create public opinion concerning the subject of your interest. Therefore, making our digests part of your daily or weekly reading may be rather helpful. Why don't you include articles from professional magazines into your digests?
We presume that our subscribers receive and read professional periodicals themselves. Our digests give them the idea of how their subject is presented in general-interest press. How do you select articles for your digests?
We rely on the common sense and professional experience of the editors who compile the digests. Do your digests contain the full text of articles?
Some articles are abridged, some are given in full - depending on the informational value of each particular material. Can I place an ad in your digest?
No. The major task of our digests is to save our subscriber from redundant reading. Can I order you a digest of my personal interest?
Yes, you can. But this would involve all the costs of a customized monitoring service. I am a subscriber to one of your digests. Can I receive the full text of articles included in it free of charge?
Not quite free, but we can offer you a discount off the normal clipping price. Please contact the Subscription Manager. |
