How our content is researched.

The Profile Group and Agence France-Presse’s network of journalists and local correspondents based in 160 countries have researched the most significant events for 2008.

Together we have over 200 years of newsgathering and forward planning experience and have an unrivalled reputation for delivering accurate and reliable news and future events content to our customers:

• 4000 AFP staff based locally in 160 countries.
  
  
• Close relations with industry insiders and contacts at the highest levels of government and politics allow us to publish information not available via press release, or to the public.
  
  
• Continuous contact with international PRs and event organisers guarantees that we are continually updated with press releases and announcements, many exclusive, from over 50,000 organisations.
  
  
• We read and research from an extensive list of international periodicals, journals, newspapers, websites, blogs, trade and consumer magazines.

To ensure accuracy, our journalists and researchers check content direct with event organisers and promoters.
