We cover the markets the way the desk reads them — line by line, the moment they move.
MarketPR began with a simple frustration: the wire moves faster than anyone can read it. Thousands of releases cross every day, and the one that matters is buried between two that don’t. We built a newsroom around that problem — reporters who sit beside the distribution desk, not above it, turning raw filings into coverage you can act on before the market has finished pricing it.
Our mission is narrow and we keep it that way. Cover the markets the way a desk reads them: the filing first, the narrative second, the headline last. Every story is written by a named reporter, passed through an editor, and timestamped against the moment the tape moved — because the people on the other side of the page are holding positions, not scrolling for entertainment.
We also run the wire itself. Issuer releases route through the same editorial floor that writes the coverage, which means the press-release side answers to the same standards as the newsroom. No paid placement in the news columns. No reporter writing about a name their desk distributed that morning. The wall between the two is the product.
Founded in a back room above a trading floor. Independent. Reader-funded on the news side, issuer-funded on the wire side — and we’ve never let the two share an editor.
A newsroom, not an aggregator.
We don’t scrape and republish. Every story carries a byline, a desk and a timestamp because a person stood behind it. That’s the whole product: human judgment, applied at wire speed.
The standard every story has to clear.
Read it in full
No story leaves the desk on a headline alone. We open the filing, the deck, the footnotes — and the line management hoped you’d skim past.
Source over speed
Fast matters. Right matters more. Every figure is checked against the last four quarters before a reporter commits it to the page.
Context is the story
A number without a comparison is noise. We tell you what moved, against what, and why it matters to the people holding the position.
Plain about the unknown
When the market doesn’t know yet, neither do we — and we say so. No manufactured certainty, no narrative laid over a gap in the facts.
Who signs the front page.
A small room by design. 6 editors, one standard — and a rotating bench of reporters who file from the floors they cover.
Sets the day’s lead, signs off every byline before it ships.
Runs the equities, rates and FX rotation — the room you hear before the open.
First eyes on every release that crosses the distribution feed.
The long read. Filings, footnotes, and the people behind them.
Turns four quarters of numbers into a single line you can act on.
Holds the masthead to the bar printed on every page.
The market doesn’t wait for the morning paper. Neither do we.
