IPA launches new web site

IPA launches new web site as part of project to improve IPA communications to members and the public.

Geneva - The International Publishers Association (IPA), the international body representing book publishers worldwide, has launching its new website at www.internationalpublishers.org

The new website is the part of a larger project to improve IPA communications to members and the interested public.

Says Ana Maria Cabanellas, IPA President: "In revamping the web site we were seeking to meet three objectives: To create a web site that reflects IPA's status and image as an international professional industry organisation; to create a tool to improve communication between the Secretariat in Geneva and IPA members and the public; and to publicise IPA's activities and initiatives like World Book Capital City or the IPA Freedom Prize more effectively".

Says IPA Secretary General: "The launch of the new web site is a starting point. Features in different languages will follow. We will develop the content as it is required over time. We are confident that this new website will prove to be a useful tool for marketing and communication".
