Key Japanese Business News in English from Leading Financial Newspaper Publisher
Factiva a Dow Jones & Reuters Company, announces today an agreement with The Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Inc. (Nikkei), Japan's leading financial newspaper publisher, to add the Nikkei Report (English language) and The Nikkei Weekly (English language) to its collection of global news and business information. Factiva is the first international information provider to offer the Nikkei Report.
"The Nikkei Report and the Nikkei Weekly are essential business news publications for our customers in Japan, as well as throughout the world, and make an excellent addition to the Factiva content collection," said Clare Hart, president and CEO of Factiva. "This relationship gives our customers access to valuable in-depth business analysis from a leading Japanese news source which provides a regional perspective on business news, further enhancing our customers' ability to make better business decisions."
The Nikkei Report provides comprehensive Japanese business news in English from Japan's leading financial newspaper publisher, Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Inc. (Nikkei). Each business day, the service translates more than 100 key articles appearing in The Nihon Keizai Shimbun, as well as three other Nikkei newspapers. Backed by more than 1,400 veteran journalists, the Nikkei Report delivers extensive coverage of the latest trends in politics, economy, industry, technology and financial markets in Japan. The service offers unparalleled, in-depth analysis of economic affairs, which has gained the respect of corporate executives and decision makers in Japan and throughout the world.
The Nikkei Weekly is the only English-language economic journal published in Japan. The newspaper's consistent editorial policy of observing Japan and Asia from an international viewpoint continues to win high praise from readers both at home and abroad. Published once a week, The Nikkei Weekly provides detailed analyses of the business news of the region, and a broad, in-depth treatment of the reasons behind current events, in addition to comprehensive yet concise week-by-week coverage of major business topics.
"Nikkei is committed to taking advantage of the increasing need and market demand to deliver news and information online, " said Nobuyuki Ito, deputy general manager, electronic media bureau. "Providing English-language news through the Nikkei Report and The Nikkei Weekly newspaper to Factiva services represents an important step in our effort to maximise customer convenience and satisfaction."
