FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ST. PAUL, MN – November 4, 2002 – October Research Corporation, the nation's leading provider of news and market intelligence for the real estate services industry, has launched the web version of The Title Report, a publication focused on the title insurance component of the real estate services industry. The site is located at www.thetitlereport.com.

The company earlier this year launched web editions of two other publications, The Legal Description and Appraisal Intelligence. All three web sites operate on the Internet Publishing System™ from iProduction.

"Being a smaller publishing company, customer service is key to our success--that is why we are so happy with the iProduction web sites," said Tatiana Parker, managing editor of The Title Report. "iProduction makes management and maintenance of the site a breeze, and subscribers love the features and navigation."

“Quality business-to-business publishers like October Research will succeed with pay sites,” said iProduction President Stephen M. Laliberte. “Free b-to-b news and information sites are quickly becoming a thing of the past.”

Web site subscriptions for The Title Report are priced at $495 annually. Subscribers can choose to receive either the print or web editions or both. Non-subscribers can view headlines and single-paragraph snippets of all stories on the site, but cannot access the entire stories. The publication produces 24 print issues annually.
