Fairfax Media supports fintech hub with Site Licence, providing office with access to content
Fairfax Media has signed up not-for-profit fintech hub Stone & Chalk’s Sydney office with digital access to The Australian Financial Review, The Sydney Morning Herald and The AGe as part of its “site licence” offering.
The publisher’s site licence uses IP authentication to provide anyone at the Stone & Chalk office in Sydney with unlimited and unmetered access to content across its mastheads, effectively bringing down the paywall within the Stone & Chalk office.
Michael Stuchbury, editor-in-chief of The Australian Financial Review, said: “Site Licences are a critical new stage in the evolution and innovation of how The Australian Financial Review serves our readers.
“The Financial Review provides Australia’s busy business professionals and executives with the most reliable up-to-date coverage of the developments that most matter to them in business, markets, politics and the world. A corporate subscription Site Licence ensures that an entire workforce can share the same service in a simple and efficient manner.”
Fairfax Media is providing the Site Licence to Stone & Chalk, which provides spaces and co-working falcities and aims to foster and accelerate the development of fintech start-ups, on a complementary basis.
Stone & Chalk CEO, Alex Scandurra, said: “We are grateful for this kind gesture from Fairfax. We need more organisations including governments across Australia to step up and start paying it forward to startups. After all, they are the creators of the industries of tomorrow.”
Presumably fintech people will be clever enough to access the SMH as much as they like by using incognito sessions on Google Chrome?
