REPRINTS
What is a reprint?
Reprints are customized, reformatted versions of articles that have appeared online at InfoWorld.com. They are a great way to market your product, service or company alongside the industry-respected brand of InfoWorld.
Why are reprints important as part of my marketing and promotions strategy?
Reprints serve to promote the connection between your company and Infoworld. For companies interested in direct marketing, hard-copy reprints are the only available link to the article in its original format online.
How are reprints used for marketing?
Reprint products are powerful as direct marketing tools, either through mail or online promotions. They offer valuable third-party endorsements of your company, products or services. Reprints are replications of the original coverage, with space for your company logo and contact information to be added.
What are the differences between hard copy and electronic reprints?
Hard copy reprints are articles that have been reformatted and reprinted onto 8 1/2 by 11-inch glossy paper in two to four colors. A single reprint can number one to eight pages in length. Electronic reprints are articles that have been reformatted as either a pdf, or a flash based digital reprint.
What products are considered reprints?
The most commonly utilized reprint products are hard-copy articles, but that’s not the only way to promote your feature. Electronic usage covers a selection of digital products, perfect for marketing online and via email. Also available are plaques, posters, postcards and banners for promoting your coverage around the office or at a tradeshow.

LICENSING
What is licensing?
News distributors and Web sites with a shortage of their own home-grown content
are often interested in licensing the entire body of InfoWorld content for
redistribution on their services and sites. Unlike reprints or links, licensing
involves acquiring rights to all content or certain sections of content over a
period of time, not just selected articles or reviews. You can license
InfoWorld content in full or one slice of the content, for example, just
the articles about security or just the articles about database.
How do I license InfoWorld content for redistribution?
To acquire the right to license content from InfoWorld and/or InfoWorld.com, please email copyright@infoworld.com. Include the following
information in your request: type of stories you are interested
in, how you plan to use the content, your target audience, type of service you provide.
