 PROFILE
Some company news is none of your business and some is everyone's business -- that's where Business Wire comes in. Business Wire electronically distributes company press releases and other company information to news media, online services, and databases worldwide. Business Wire, which spreads the word for more than 40,000 organizations, is eliminating the 15-minute head start financial news wires get by providing press releases in real time on its Web site. The company operates 26 offices in the US and an international hub in Brussels, as well as regional offices across the globe. President and owner Lorry Lokey founded Business Wire in 1961.
