The Alliance News team is mostly in place now, so the Blackfriars newsroom is getting louder. Happy news about the #RoyalBaby provides the background soundtrack as our journalists prepare for an equally rare event: the birth of a completely new real-time financial newswire.
Much of the work at the moment is the necessary-but-dull groundwork of compiling corporate event calendars and punching in lists of company symbols. Headline templates, news coverage schedules, press accreditation – it all has to be done. Soon the real news reporting will begin.
The editorial team is an energetic mix of experienced editors and writers, alongside trainee reporters and interns, all brought together by a keen interest in companies and markets. We will be posting pictures and contact information for our journalists on the About Us section of the website. Their details also will be available on the Gorkana media database. With that in mind, the following announcement appeared in today’s Gorkana Alert:
