Reuters Offers New Financial Data Service to Newspapers
Reuters is adding a new, finance-focused subscription service to its newspapers, the company announced today.
“Reuters Financial Infographics” makes graphs out of financial data and sends it to newspapers at the close of each business day. Graphics automation software company Custom Flow Solutions will provide support for the new project.
The apparent goal is to allow media outlets to outsource their graphic-design work to Reuters. The service incorporates data concerning stocks, fixed income, currencies, commodities and energy.
