- prostoalex 11y agoI wonder how well this would work for WSJ type stories. Some of their stories are generic newswires, but the juicy stuff is from knowing insiders and building relationships over the years. A generic reporting service will tell you that "Company A unveiled product B" but will unlikely report that "Company A gave up a bunch of liquidation preferences to get a $1 bln valuation".
