He adds, “This worldwide presence makes us the only true global information provider in the sector. The new magazine will offer the most comprehensive coverage in the industry and will reach more people around the globe than any other pulp and paper publication.”

In addition, RISI has announced that a new digital edition of the magazine will be available in 2009 with a projected circulation of 10,000 subscribers.
