Was just going to say basically the same thing, though you are wrong about Business Wire (the source of some original press releases with high value).

This site would be better with way fewer sources, paradoxically. Probably 5-7 are all you need.

I pay a small fortune for Bloomberg each year and get notifications of all news on a list of stocks ~200 long. Most of the notifications are spammy lawyer press releases. Bloomberg has made no effort to curate this intelligently. Yes I know I can manually ignore certain keywords, but that's a pain and constantly evolves, it seems.

Curation is indeed paramount in the financial news industry, where much news is automatically regurgitated to generate page views/ad revenue.

If you're long these stocks, shouldn't you ignore most of the news related to them anyway? How does it impact your decision-making? Why is the subscription worth it?
I'm only long a subset and just want to be notified of actual news (primarily defined as publications and SEC filings from the companies), not deadlines to be the plaintiff to sue the companies, for example.
Ok this makes sense. As Ntrails points out I actually misread your comment.
The list is 200 long, no positional information was likely intended
