News Dataset - Searching for Press Releases in Newswires
Avantis aggregates 40+ news sources, including major press release services and investment site articles, delivering real-time news as it is published. This dataset contains press releases and articles from within the last 90 days only. For more historical press release searching, see STRATEGY: Searching Historical SEDAR and SEC Press Releases (Combined)
Key Features of Avantis News:
-
Many press releases appear on newswires days or weeks before they are filed on SEDAR or SEC.
-
Some press releases are never filed on SEDAR or SEC because they are not considered material.
-
Both categories of press releases remain searchable in Avantis' News section for 90 days.
-
During this period, most will be filed on SEDAR or SEC.
-
After 90 days, press releases not filed on SEDAR or EDGAR are removed from the News section.
