Washington, DC — AllAfrica Global Media has created Sponsor Wire - a cost-efficient, highly visible channel for publicizing important announcements, press releases and speeches. The service is designed for governments, corporations, institutions and individuals with a message to disseminate.

AllAfrica reaches policy planners, leaders of business and industry, analysts, scholars and activists -- decision makers of all kinds -- through allAfrica.com, the leading Africa web site; AllAfrica News Wire, the largest distribution channel for news from and about the African continent; and AllAfrica Mobile, a service for PDAs and wireless devices.

Sponsors receive prominent positioning on allAfrica.com's popular home page and on any of the site's more than 80 geographical and topical sections. The web site offers a diversity of content, including some 500 stories daily in English and French, multi-lingual streaming programming, and a 300,000-article searchable archive. The growing site already serves over 6 million page views monthly to a highly educated, influential audience. The readership is global: 70%-75% of users are from North America, and 10%-20% from Europe, with the rest distributed throughout Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America.

The AllAfrica News Wire is distributed throughout each day by major commercial online services, including LexisNexis, Reuters Business Briefings, Financial Times Information, Bloomberg and Dialog. Through a strategic collaboration with Comtex, the leading business-to-business information distributor, the AllAfrica News Wire reaches hundreds of other financial, corporate, and governmental and Internet clients globally.

AllAfrica's Mobile Edition, a selection of top stories optimized specifically for small screens, is available for PDAs and wireless devices of various types through AvantGo and other services.
