Global news feed for co-operatives launches

A unique global news feed for co-operatives has been launched by Co-operative Press — publishers of Co-operative News and thenews.coop.

Dash.coop displays news and blog feeds from co-operatives across the world and provides an interactive dashboard for co-operators and anyone interested in the sector to view feeds by subject or through custom searches. 

A more in-depth analysis allows feeds to be viewed by country, as well as historical graph information in any area. A press-clipping report can also be printed for any subject or custom search. 

On the website, channels also bring together the most popular subjects, such as conferences and special events. 

Dash.coop users have control over the site. Anyone can join up and add feeds to help build the repository of co-operative information.

Anthony Murray, Dash.coop Editor, says: "There is a wealth of co-operative news out there — and dash.coop is here to bring this information and co-operatives together. 

"With the global recession and the upcoming International Year of Co-operatives in 2012, it is now more important than ever for co-operatives to be in constant communication and to see what others are doing."
