I use Quotemedia – http://www.quotemedia.com/

That is the only website so far that I’ve found which actually lists all the press releases issued by a company. These are the ones which I’m often most interested in, since they are specific and provide a running history of the company’s important events (similar to 8-Ks, but easier to read and more broad).

Quotemedia is publicly-traded (QMCI.OB) and it looks like it may go out of business, which would be a damn shame given that I can’t find any other company which offers this service.

I also like Briefing.com. You get a lot of the news and they have a free trial as well. I only wish you could filter out news for NYSE, OTCBB, NASDAQ, etc. specifically.

I’ve never paid for news feeds, but I’ve thought about it. I usually just get my news off Google Finance and not Yahoo Finance. With CNBC, sometimes they have ‘news’ that moves the markets that isn’t real news, so you wouldn’t have that base covered with a news wire. For instance, when Maria Bartiromo was at some Las Vegas tech convention and had PALM featured on it, the stock sky rocketed in real time. You sure won’t find a news wire saying ‘PALM featured on Closing Bell’ LOL

Use the new diligence software on http://www.collectivestock.com .. works for me.
You can also use etrade pro to filter live news, or news from your watchlists.

Yeah, this is pretty good. Unfortunately it doesn’t have some of the newswires. Unless you get a Bloomberg terminal or subscribe to a service like TradeTheNews.com (I have heard good things about it but not used it) you won’t get timely market-moving news from DJ Newswires and Bloomberg Newswires.
