[Press Release] The New York Times Announces Three-year Agreement with the KERIS
The New York Times Announces
Three-year Agreement with the Korea Education and Research Information Service
The New York Times - The agreement has the potential
to bring Times digital access to all students at all four-year universities in
South Korea.
The New York Times Enterprise
Subscription (B2B) Team has closed a three-year agreement with the Korea
Education and Research Information Service (KERIS), a government organization
that develops, proposes and advises on current and future government policies
and initiatives regarding education in South Korea.
With the potential to bring
Times digital access to all students at all four-year South Korean universities,
students within the country’s 200+ universities will be eligible to receive
unlimited access to NYTimes.com and The New York Times News app.
All students and faculty at
four-year South Korean universities will have unlimited access to NYTimes.com
and The New York Times News app, access to The New York Times Learning Tools
(including the inEducation Curriculum Tool and The Learning Network) and
ongoing engagement support and initiatives from The Times. Students and faculty
at all four-year South Korean universities can reach out to their school
librarians for more information.
In alignment with The New York
Times Enterprise Subscription Team’s goal to help today’s students become
tomorrow’s global citizens, this program aims to enable all students at
four-year South Korean universities to explore the changing world through our quality
and innovative journalism.
Through this program with
KERIS, we have the opportunity to build awareness and habituate hundreds of
thousands of students in South Korea to our incredible journalism, and continue
this path to paid subscribers as they enter their professional lives. We are
excited by the impact this deal could have on readership and our future
subscriber base across South Korea.
Hannah Yang, chief growth
officer, The New York Times Company, said, “We are thrilled to work with KERIS
to make The Times even more accessible to students and educators in South
Korea, providing them opportunities to explore, discover and stay curious
through our journalism and portfolio of products. We look forward to continuing
our commitment in this market, building upon this agreement and the growth of
our Digital News Hub in Seoul to further evolve our business and international
reach.”
KERIS shares our deep
commitment to digital innovation and long history of supporting education and
driving civic awareness and understanding among students.
Director Sanghyun Jang, KERIS
Higher Education and Academic Division, said, “The cooperation between Korea
Education and Research Information Service (KERIS) and The Times is expected to
be of great help to Korean university students and researchers in the covid-19
era, when the need for online educational materials has increased. In
particular, it is expected that scholars of small and medium-sized universities
who have difficulty subscribing to overseas materials will also be given
increased accessibility to online teaching and learning materials of The Times
in Education regardless of economic conditions.”
The Times has been a supporter
of education and readership programs since 1932, and today, millions of
students from all over the world have access to our journalism through the
Enterprise Subscription program. Following this deal with KERIS, we are excited
to continue building meaningful education partnerships and programs in markets
across the globe.
