More is Better William Dupuy, Editor, LeFile. No question, the more ways a company can find to disseminate news and other corporate information, the better. And more companies are trending to their corporate Web sites as a means of broadening disclosure.
Companies seem to be responding to the opportunity.
A National Investor Relations Institute study a year ago showed that two-thirds of surveyed member companies were not only posting more written IR information on the Web, they were Webcasting their conference calls as well. Business Week in September noted a big surge in interest in corporate disclosure on the Web. That's all good news. But for companies still thinking about the concept, or wondering if they should expand their efforts, there's compelling evidence that the time to act is now. It's true that the analysts who already follow your company will not be dependent on your Web site for corporate information.
