BNO News to Launch Wire Service, Signs Msnbc.com
Breaking news service BNO News, primarily known for its @BreakingNews Twitter account that has more than 1.4 million followers, has announced it will launch a paid-subscription newswire in early January.
Called BNO News Wire, the international service will target news media organizations as subscribers. BNO News also announced the first client of its newswire: Msnbc.com.
There’s an interesting wrinkle to the deal, paidContent.org’s Rafat Ali reports:
MSNBC.com [also] will take over the management of the @BreakingNews Twitter feed starting next month, while BNO and its 20-year old Dutch founder Michael van Poppel will now focus on developing its subscription-based wire service to sell to news companies.
