Factiva is a long-established premium news resource but it is staying sharp and moving with the times to offer some mobile offerings and unique features.

All of which is attracting new as well as old users of the service. In his "Mini review of Factiva - recent enhancements" (Subscriber content), Jinfo's Andrew Grave looks at the features that make Factiva unique and what has changed since Jinfo's full review of Factiva in October last year.

A comprehensive resource

As ever with Factiva there's a lot on offer and so "The main question for buyers is whether they will require such a comprehensive resource", writes Andrew.

Just how it offers so much is easy to see: after all, Factiva first came on the scene 15 years ago as a joint venture between media giants Dow Jones and Reuters.

Today it is wholly owned by Dow Jones, itself a News Corporation company.

Factiva still serves its traditional market of information professionals but now there's also a growing number of end users in PR, corporate communications and consultancies, writes Andrew.
