Cross-channel platform celebrated by Denis Noel, CEO of CFC and David Pugh, MD of NLANLA eClips – the database used by all major UK media monitoring suppliers and users to access print and digital media – now has a French twist. NLA and its French equivalent CFC (Centre Francais d’exploitation du droit de Copier) announced that eClips is now being used to deliver French national newspaper content to media monitoring companies in France. A technical co-operation agreement signed after an extensive trial means the proven benefits of eClips – fast, high quality access to original publisher content – are now available to thousands of French users.
NLA and CFC intend to use the common technical platform to improve access to international content for press cuttings users  in UK, France and other countries. A searchable version of the French content – Distri-Doc – is also made available to French journalists. The parallel UK journalists research service ClipShare is used by over 6,000 UK users.
