NBA PHOTOS' COVERAGE OF NBA FINALS GOES GLOBAL WITH PRESSLINK
Exclusive Photos At Special Price Part of Long-Term Deal

June 12--Reston, VA--Exclusive photos shot by NBA Photos moved within
minutes to PressLink's member newspapers in the United States and Europe
during the first three NBA Finals games between the Houston Rockets and
Orlando Magic. In addition to game time coverage, which began with the
first game on June 7, NBA Photos is capturing practices, press conferences
and other NBA events for PressLink, the pioneer in delivering ready to
publish materials online.

The special pricing promotion for the NBA Finals is part of a continuing
exclusive arrangement between PressLink and NBA Photos which began during
the 1993-94 regular season. The next stage of this arrangement will
include unique pre-1996 season coverage for PressLink Members.  Further
details will be announced June 24 at NEXPO '95, the Newspaper Association
of America's annual technical exposition and conference.

In addition to the regular NBA Photo Forum on PressLink, Finals coverage is
also a part of PressLink's new service, Special Report, launched in
January 1995. Special Report consolidates all coverage of major events
from multiple news sources in a single location. For the NBA Finals, all
coverage is provided exclusively by NBA Photos.

"NBA Photos delivers top quality, color-strobed images of NBA players,
coaches, games and events," said Charles Rosenzweig, Director of Business
Affairs, NBA Entertainment.  "Since PressLink has the ability to deliver
high-resolution images to a global network -- media professionals all over
the world use it everyday -- it makes sense for us to rely on it."

NBA Photos is the photography department and archive of the National
Basketball Association and its 29 member teams. NBA Photos was started in
1986 to meet the photographic demands of the world's fastest growing
sport. Coverage is year-round, encompassing pre-season through final
series action.

Michael V. Martucci, PressLink's Director of Sales and Marketing, cited the
arrangement with NBA as "a superior example of the kind of exclusive
content that can only be found on PressLink."

"As the worlds leading online service for publishing professionals, we are
in the best position to bring real-time coverage of the NBA Finals to
newspapers around the world," he added.

Besides instantaneous delivery of exclusive photos, other features of
PressLink's services during the NBA Finals include:

*  Preview images of both teams in action during the past season; this
includes top players participating in the NBA All-Star Game.

*  Coverage of press conferences and other special NBA events.
