IDEX Online SA, which provides trading services and content for the diamond industry, said it has deepened its longstanding cooperation with Tacy Ltd. and it will now produce and distribute the industry publication, Diamond Intelligence Briefs.

The publication is shifting from print to a PDF format that will be e-mailed to subscribers.

In addition, this move to a greener, paperless format means that DIB subscribers now have online access both to DIB and online DIB archives.

“After more than 25 years of continuous publication, this is just the next step in a series of changes ensuring that the DIB remains up-to-date and authoritative, without jeopardizing its staunch independence,” said Chaim Even-Zohar, principal of Tacy Ltd., the publishers of DIB. “The online version will also ease the adding of relevant source documents, to enable readers to draw their own independent conclusion.”

New subscribers of the DIB who sign up for a year’s subscription before March 15 will receive an extra three months of news, views, and analysis, at no extra cost.
