I'm currently a self-employedconsultant. I produce a daily newsletter, distributed via e-mail, for a company involved in the document imaging industry. The e-publication has a global readership of several thousand people with circulation in the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia as well as in Latin America. The newsletter tracks the activities of various companies involved in the office machine, document management and imaging industries through press releases and news items. Its circulation is primarily throughout corporate management and executive levels worldwide.
