http://www.quote.com/info/bwire.html (World Wide Web Directory, 06/1995)For some time now the investment community has been undergoing subtle but significant change. The increased activism of shareholders and their involvement in corporate governamce issues has created more volatility in the marketplace.
This volatility has made the investment process more complex and the communications process more critical. More than ever, it is imperative that investor relations professionals have the means to reach the media and investment community with their corporate news.
BusinessWire reaches more media and investment firms -- both nationally and internationally -- than any other media relations wire service.
The SEC, the stock exchanges and the NASD have specific guidelines for the public disclosure of news. BusinessWire is the acknowledged leader in helping publicly traded companies meet their "timely disclosure to the media" requirements.
Since the BusinessWire reports are provided by the companies themselves, the cost to you is exceptionally low. For only $9.95 per month you may receive up to 25 reports per day. If you also subscribe to QuoteCom's Basic service you will automatically receive news release on the items in your portfolio.
QuoteCom sends BusinessWire reports that impact your portfolio as soon as we receive them. If you decide to receive everything in certain categories, you may receive many updates each day.We keep BusinessWire data on our system for 90 days.
BusinessWire is very similar to PR Newswire. Most companies will use one or the other to disseminate their news, although a few will use both. Therefore, in order to insure the broadest coverage of news releases, you may wish to subscribe to both services.
Examples of BusinessWire stories are available by sending an email message to services@quote.com with a Subject: of "info bwire-samples".
