Easily access contentEPC executive director, Angela Mills Wade said, "Our mission is to harness the potential of the digital revolution and to work to ensure that the valuable and authoritative content can be easily discovered and enjoyed. Also, and very importantly, we must remain financially independent and monetising our content through subscription and advertising is crucial, so we can continue to fund high-quality journalism. "This report clearly shows an increasingly multi-media environment with different media and different platforms. We have been working over the past two years to develop the technical infrastructure to make it possible for the first time to manage, communicate and access online rights information seamlessly when using more than one medium: text, image, sound or audiovisual. We are also working on a project that will make it possible for each piece of content uploaded to the net to be identified and matched to its owner, making the whole business of online rights communication potentially seamless. This work is essential if we are to secure the future of professional online content and if we are to maximise the potential, clearly identified in this report, of digital media."
