"CBS MarketWatch.com's debut in the Daily News Express is truly a
breakthrough for us. It is our first foray into print journalism -- one that
raises our profile in the nation's largest media market," said Larry Kramer,
CEO of MarketWatch.com and a former newspaperman. "CBS MarketWatch.com will
reach investment-minded consumers through the full range of media -- the
Internet, television, radio, and now print, in partnership with one of the
most exciting newspapers in the country."
"By offering CBS MarketWatch.com content, the Daily News Express will be
providing our readers the highest quality, most up-to the minute financial
news," said Brian Moss, Editor of The Daily News Express. "By combining CBS
MarketWatch.com and Daily News business coverage, we're bringing together two
great teams of reporters."
"Our relationship with CBS MarketWatch.com is the latest in a series of
partnerships that the Daily news is forging with a variety of media," said
Marie DeParis, Daily News Senior Vice President, Strategic marketing. "This
past spring, we agreed to provide Daily News content to WCBS television,
bringing our unique New York perspectives to a broadcast audience. We believe
alliances of all kinds are essential in today's multi-media environment."
