United Feature Syndicate's relationships with the leading newspapers around the world and their online newspaper editions should propel Salon to a new level of awareness," said Michael O'Donnell, President and Publisher of Salon. Salon's agreement with United Feature Syndicate includes the syndication of content in print as well as online versions of newspapers worldwide. As part of this agreement, the Salon Web address will be featured in articles syndicated to print and hyper-links to the Salon home page will be included in all articles syndicated on the Web. "We recognized the unique editorial quality of Salon's regular columnists and original essays and feel this content translates effectively to print," said Diana Loevy, Vice President and Editorial Director for United Feature Syndicate. "Through a coordinated effort with United Feature Syndicate, newspaper editors around the world will be updated as to Salon's editorial calendar and be able to incorporate these features into their print or online publications."
