LONDON (ICIS news)--ICIS, the world's leading chemical information provider, will on Monday launch its new global weekly magazine, ICIS Chemical Business.

 

"Recognising sweeping changes that the publishing industry has been going through, driven by new technologies and changing reading habits, it has become clear that we needed a change of direction," Christopher Flook, ICIS publishing director said on Friday.

 

"While our market-leading 24-hour online ICIS news service breaks news around the globe, the new features and analysis led ICIS Chemical Business magazine will provide in-depth market intelligence and take a broader look at the issues ultimately affecting the industry," he added.

 

ICIS announced its new publishing strategy - which fused the previous two editions for Americas and Europe/Middle East/Asia to form one global weekly magazine - at last month's Chemspec Europe trade show in Amsterdam.

 

The new ICIS Chemical Business will draw its coverage from more than 95 dedicated and specialist journalists from around the world including New York, London, Singapore, Houston, Mumbai and Shanghai.

 

"Our vision is to provide our readers and advertisers with a unique features-led magazine, which will lead the market in detailed coverage of new areas and issues such as Reach, security, projects and production, offering more probing journalism than ever before in a magazine our readers will want to keep and refer to for more than just a week,” said Penny Wilson, global editorial director, ICIS Chemical Business.

 

“It is a magazine that will draw on the power of print".

 

More free content from the new magazine will also be released on ICIS.com from early next week.
