News for investors will come from a primary source (the company) and from third party sources, where others interpret the company news and add their own opinion. The corporate website should be the repository of all primary sourced news, not just ASX Announcements. It can also hold third party news items.
Company news should be available on the website immediately after the news is published. Be first, or you are allowing others to produce their third party versions based on incomplete information.
IRM Newsroom provides a news aggregation service. News can come into IRM Newsroom from the ASX, from a company blog, from publishers such as Proactive Investors or Boardroom.Media, or with a manual upload. IRM is continually adding new automatic news sources.
The news comes in automatically and immediately. No news is lost or forgotten.
Once under IRM Newsroom's control, a news item can be published immediately, or after an approval, in one or more of a range of chosen distribution channels. Choices can be made in a series of defaults, which can be overridden for individual news items. You are in total control.
For ASX Announcements, the choice of defaults is based on the Announcement Type you entered when you lodged the Announcement with ASX Online. IRM Newsroom can behave differently for each type - auto publish, seek approval, ignore, and send to different distribution channels.
IRM Newsroom allows publication or any news items in any number of sections of the website, based on news type. For example, show all ASX Announcements on an ASX Announcement page, and mix them with blog posts and media coverage in a headline news box on the home page.
Distribute your news to the email alerts subscriber database maintained by IRM Newsroom, or just to a subset of it. IRM Newsroom can tweet or post it on Social Media automatically and instantly. IRM is continually adding further news distribution channels.
