SEC greenlights "notice-and-access" news releases

By Dominic Jones on August 8, 2008

THE US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) new guidance for company websites gives investor relations departments an opportunity to cut their disclosure costs and boost traffic to their websites by using “notice-and-access” news releases for Regulation FD. Although the SEC’s guidance goes so far as to say that “some companies” may not need to use [...]

SEC adds free news feeds to EDGAR

By Dominic Jones on March 31, 2008

IN A move that portends dramatic changes in how disclosures are disseminated online, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has added news feeds for every issuer and reporting person who files with the commission’s EDGAR database. The development is potentially bad news for news release distributors such as Business Wire, owned by Berkshire Hathaway, [...]

Talking about transparency

By Dominic Jones on March 26, 2008

I WAS interviewed for 45 minutes last Friday by well-known communications consultant Shel Holz for a book he is co-authoring on the topic of “practical transparency.” Shel is one of the thought leaders on the topic of communications and technology. He has written and spoken about it extensively over the years, in various books, reports, [...]

Earnings releases — the Warren Buffett way

By Dominic Jones on February 24, 2008

WHILE his competitors lavish huge fees on his PR wire service, frugal billionaire Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway is being thrifty by keeping its earnings releases short and referring investors to complete disclosures on the company’s website. Ironically, management at Business Wire, acquired by Buffett in March 2006, has argued vehemently against other companies following its [...]

Takeover bid sites, old-economy style

By Dominic Jones on February 12, 2008

WITH tech titans Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) poised for a brawl, it might be useful for the two to see examples of companies that are right now using the Web to effectively present their bid propaganda. Ironically, the examples I have to share, whipped up after a quick Google News search [...]

Microsoft, Yahoo! IR teams drop ball amid bid

By Dominic Jones on February 10, 2008

IF YOU’RE a Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) or Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ: YHOO) shareholder, you’ve probably heard the news — thanks in no part to the companies’ investor relations departments. Yes, on February 1, 2008 Microsoft proposed to acquire Yahoo! for $31 per share, apparently comprised of half cash and half Microsoft shares, or something like that. [...]

My gibberish was first, no mine was

By Dominic Jones on December 10, 2007

PERHAPS I shouldn’t be so flippant about XBRL, a technology that almost everyone seems to think is a big deal, but I’m more turned on by the offbeat side of events around the financial tagging language than the serious stuff. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know that the XBRL U.S. GAAP [...]

Lululemon takes the PR low road

By Dominic Jones on November 16, 2007

Updated: Canada law enforcement agency moves against company, which agrees to pull “therapeutic and performance” claims from clothing tags.
