| Press Release |
 |
If it's an earnings press release, the release will discuss the financial
results of the company for the recently completed quarter and may
provide comments from management. Press releases often list valuable
contact information that can assist you in your research, such as
the company's web address.

Remember that press releases are written by the companies, and not by a reporter. Often, as you search online news databases, it may be difficult to distinguish between a press release and a news story written by a journalist. The best way to distinguish the two is by looking closely at the first couple words of the story, which is where the source of the story is usually identified. If the source is identified as "BusinessWire" or "PR Newswire" then it is a press release issued by a company. |
