HOW NEWS IMPACTS YOUR BUSINESS
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

Breaking news routinely triggers billions of dollars in stock price declines, along with significant sales and market share impacts and lasting damage to brand equity

​

Despite that material risk, companies tend to focus on the upside of publicity, managing to the downside only when there is a full-blown crisis. At that point, it's too late.

and in the process aligning news outputs to business outcomes across the board.
