Introduction
Setting up the right infrastructure and systems has always
been a challenge for any organisation. More so, when such
decisions involve spending millions in dollars, as is the case
with the newspaper business. The competition from within the
industry and from new media has ensured that newspapers
constantly upgrade their infrastructure to achieve business
growth.
WAN-IFRA has been in the forefront advising and providing
support to its members on the latest developments in business
and technology. There has always been a demand from such
members for a publication that will list the infrastructure
– prepress, press and mailroom equipment used in various
newspapers as well as a comprehensive list of suppliers of
various products and services in every region. To satisfy such a
need, IFRA had published its first Asian Newspaper Directory
in 2001-2002. The directory is now updated with the data of
South Asian Newspapers and related suppliers.
The collection of data is the result of close to a year of
hardwork with full cooperation from our members. Apart from
the listing of infrastructure, the directory also provides data
about key personnel and department heads of different media
houses. The section on suppliers will help the newspapers to
connect with the vendors in each region.
We hope to make this directory a biennial publication and
the next edition is planned for 2013-14. In the next edition,
we will try and improve the directory to make it more
comprehensive. Finally, we hope that this directory would be
a reference guide to our members and to the industry at large
in the South Asian region. We thank all the newspapers and
advertisers for their support.

RESEARCH AND MATERIAL TESTING CENTRE
Does your newsprint and newsink give the best ink mileage?Standardise your newsprint and newsink to ISO 12647-3
Studies have shown that inks with better pigments and rheological properties can give 15% to 20% more mileage than other inks. Newsprint with good surface characteristics can contribute to another 15%, thus giving a total of 35% more ink mileage.
After all, money saved is money earned.
WAN-IFRA’s Research & Material Testing Centre can help you provide a solution to find the ink mileage even before the materials reach your press room.
