na europe, the international news distribution network and the London Stock Exchange's Regulatory News Service today launched a partnership which further enhances the reach of regulatory announcements made in the UK.
Based at the Press Association (PA) in London, na europe's extensive international digital distribution resources deliver text, pictures and graphics, via the PA and other national news agencies', directly to journalists and editors of national and regional media.
Carl-Eduard Meyer, CEO of the news aktuell group, said: "The agreement with na europe will provide significant value to the existing clients of RNS and demonstrates RNS' commitment to effective and practical disclosure of company announcements. Whilst fulfilling regulatory disclosure obligations in the UK, clients will now also be able to reach a broader audience across the rest of Europe and around the world in one single, secure and cost-effective service."
Simon Wilkinson, Head of RNS said, " As corporate announcements continue to have increasing international importance in a global marketplace the benefits of this agreement are twofold. The agreement will further enhance the reach of RNS announcements by providing clients with direct access to the European market, through na europe's extensive distribution channels. Secondly, we will be creating a platform that enables media across Europe to quickly access financial and business news emanating from the UK. This agreement builds upon our distribution in the US, via Primezone Media Network; providing RNS clients with a truly global reach to financial and media audiences."
