Business News

In a Society where Government is the largest employer, its first and greatest role must be to promote a viable Private Sector of equal or greater size. With a clear attainable Mission, Matrix and Measures, operations constantly seek better than average Returns on Investment. Communicating and strengthening relationships with all such operations’ stakeholders, must involve prudent news digesting and media releases. Such Messaging, ever in an era of growing Social Media and Fake News, can serve to drive bad decisions. Hence, such news must be independently verified, not by using other media reports, but by more than two trusted original sources, before taking any action. Especially, Business News, the common-sense version, which should never depend on opinions and feelings but should be based on provable facts; Government Intelligence reaching a growing global audience.


Government, consisting of the Legislative, the Judiciary and the Executive Branches, with numerous ministries and agencies, which are funded by Taxpayers. Such Public Administration entities must build and regulate feasible sectors and industries, for example, transportation, communications, electricity, water and waste, in which privately funded ventures can successfully operate and flourish. Hence, attracting both foreign and local investment, which would further add jobs and taxpayers into the society, is key. Such investments depend heavily on accurate intelligence; eco-socioeconomic reports, on and about the society, the jurisdiction, the sector, the industry, statistics originating from multiple professional sources and factually compiled and presented as Business News.

A Dynamic Strategic Plan, allows for the extraction of its Investment Prospectus, which offers investors a competitive return in the form of Dividend Payouts and/or Share Value Growth, and for the extraction of its Business Plan, which attracts and pays lenders to manage Cash Flow requirements; purchase of assets and/or accounts receivables. Private Sector Investors, armed with their highly confidential Strategic Plan, need to know and to adjust their dynamic plan of all and any incentives being offered in the jurisdiction; i.e. tax holidays, in the sector or industry; i.e. duty-free equipment imports, and other operational incentives, before proposing or applying to regulators. Hence, many such Investors depend on local Business News.

Decisions must be communicated clearly and on a timely basis to all potential and active stakeholders; customers, suppliers, vendors, lenders and of course, shareholders, to offer comfort in its effects and to protect all brands. Whether, well established or recent entries, large or not so large Private Sector operators, all need to communicate with their stakeholders. Messages of; product offerings to customers, deals expected from suppliers, arrangements with vendors, negotiations with lenders and relations with shareholders, should precisely address, articulate and deliver in common language, processes and procedures, back with easily understood facts. Facts, not from quoting or rebroadcasting other media reports, but originally sourced, verified and disseminated, directly to subscribers and broadcasted widely via Business News.

News, which can easily sway public opinions and affect feelings, must be based on verifiable facts from more than two highly trusted, independent sources. Such messages, true or false, disseminated in seconds via social media, will drive decisions and compel actions. In many cases, causing miscommunications and misunderstandings, which would result in damage reputations, broken relationships and legal actions. Most of such errors are unfixable, too expensive to repair or will take a very long time to be forgotten. Hence, both Private and Public Sectors Operations should protect themselves and their messaging by quoting and identifying original sources; with undamaged reputations, trusted and dependable to deliver accurate Business News.
