The story

GlobeNewswire was established in 1998 with the goal of eliminating the 15-minute delay in disclosing financial releases to all media, as well as offering Investor Relations website management services, hosting online customer service centers, and delivering the news via HTML email.

GlobeNewswire facilitates the distribution of corporate press releases, financial disclosures, and multimedia content to various stakeholders, including the media, investment community, individual investors, and the general public.

In 2012, GlobeNewswire introduced its Streaming Media Player, which allows users to alternate between videos and slides while monitoring a variety of news sources.

In June 2018, GlobeNewswire introduced Media Snippets, providing the ability for organizations publishing press releases to embed a carousel of images, audio, video, and live streaming into their press releases and web pages to tell a more complete brand story and increase engagement with media, investors, and customers.
