The Exchange Feed Podcast
Season 7, Episode 1

This episode of The Exchange Feed focuses on the importance of newswires and their role in ensuring your press releases meet the Exchange's and market expectations. Subject matter experts Valérie Douville, Director, Compliance, TMX Group, and Wasim Thaha, Managing Director of Operations, TMX Newsfile, provide these key takeaways and other insights for companies to consider.

Key Takeaways

    1. Meeting Newswire standards and Exchange Expectations: While exchanges don't audit newswires, companies are expected to use reliable newswire services. Failure to do so is a breach of our Exchange policies.
       
    2. Common Mistakes and Best Practices: Common mistakes include using free services with limited reach, using a service that edits or alters company releases, or companies posting news directly to online databases without proper dissemination.
       
    3. Social Media vs. Newswires: While social media plays a role in communication, newswires remain crucial for formal disclosure due to their established trust, security, and regulatory compliance.
