I’m sorry to say that you did indeed miss it – there was no big announcement but PATS has been progressing just nicely behind the scenes. It launched at the end of 2015 with all of Newsworks’ stakeholder publishers using it and the integration into the agency systems continues. The next stage of the plan is to widen its use beyond Newsworks’ national newspaper titles to other publishers such as regional titles and magazines. If you want to know more detail, we’d be happy to tell you more about it.

Such a sales operation does not alter the journalistic independence of participating papers, right? Or am I missing something?
