 Press Release
NewsNow, Europe's longest-established Internet news monitoring agency and
supplier of aggregated newsfeeds, doubles value to customers, as it ranks
and files 20,000th news source.
12th May 2005
NewsNow, the Internet news monitoring agency, has doubled its news source
monitoring capacity to provide real-time
searching of 20,000 sources comprising international, national and regional
papers, consumer, trade and technical titles, government press pages, press
releases, blogs, webzines and newsletters in more than 15 languages from 84
countries.
Growing at a rate of more than 100 sources per week
NewsNow chairman Struan Bartlett said: "Since June 2003 when we added our
10,000th source, our experienced team have been adding sources at the
phenomenal rate of more than 100 a week. This not only doubles the capacity
of our service to locate and deliver to our customers the news they need to
know. It also doubles the number of publications to whom we drive subscriptions,
high-quality registrations and traffic vital to their growth."
NewsNow's hundreds of SME, national and multinational business customers as well as
the 500,000 regular users of its free-to-web news portal
www.NewsNow.co.uk
have seen their value-for-money double as the extra 10,000 sources have been
added. In turn, NewsNow drives registrations, subscriptions and high-quality
readership to these extra 10,000 sources. NewsNow benefits from a
dedicated publication research team. It also receives nominations from many
of the 500,000 regular users of its free-to-web news portal
NewsNow.co.uk.
Every source is checked for quality and credibility before being ranked
and filed in NewsNow's source database. Afterwards, the source is monitored
and, once found, published articles are then cross-referenced, according to criteria
specified by NewsNow's clients and experienced staff of news professionals. Portal users and customers
are informed of articles, relevant to their personalised requirements,
within minutes of publication.
NewsNow pioneered online news monitoring in the UK with the creation of
the UK's most popular news portal and dedicated Internet news monitoring services for
