Thomson dispenses IR advice via YouTube
SEARCHING for something online the other day, I bumped into Thomson Financial’s channel on YouTube.
The channel is a mix of market reports, research updates and — what I thought was nice — advice on investor relations from the company’s Corporate Advisory Services division.
Looks like they’ve been posting short videos on YouTube for about four months. [...]
How to fix e-proxy
A WEEK ago, I called the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) notice-and-access process for delivering annual meeting materials on the web “one gigantic flop from an investor protection perspective.”
I think it’s worth beating that drum a little louder in light of the latest statistics from Broadridge Financial Solutions showing a sharp drop in retail [...]

The Thomson Financial business hosts [...]

AS MORE companies add blogs and other social media tools to their online communications, knowing how to handle errors in posts has become an important practice point.
Business Wire (BW) is one company that hasn’t yet learned how to do this properly. And that’s a problem because part of BW’s business is advising companies and providing [...]
Talking about transparency
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, [...]
NIRI members' discontent posted on Web
ABOUT eight months ago, I let my membership of the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) expire. I wasn’t happy with the direction of the organization, and I felt that being a member would restrict me from speaking my mind about it on this blog if I wanted to.
Since then, however, I’ve kept my mouth mostly [...]
