Market roundup: November 2013

North America

The website of Radio Canada International’s radio program, Eye on the Arctic, is now a DW partner.

The content is normally limited to contributors from Arctic states– however the quality of the information from DW’s Ice Blog convinced Eye on the Arctic to widen the circle of those allowed to contribute.
