Editorial & Sourcing

Where releases come from

Companies issue news releases through distribution services such as ACCESS Newswire, Business Wire, CNW, GlobeNewswire, Newsfile and PR Newswire, and publish announcements through their stock exchange's own system, such as HKEXnews in Hong Kong, TDnet in Tokyo, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, and BSE and NSE in India. 6ix collects them from these services, exchange systems and other sites, and files each one under the company that issued it.

A release page names the service that first published the release and links to it there. Some releases reach 6ix through other websites that repost them; 6ix never credits or links those sites. When 6ix can't tell who first published a release, the page shows no source link.

Exchange filings published as documents are read by 6ix and shown as text on the page, with the filing's own details: the exchange, the date and the language.

The company's words and 6ix's

The headline, the text, the figures and the quotes in a release are the company's own. 6ix doesn't rewrite them and never replaces a company's headline with its own. It may change capital letters in a headline to make it easier to read; the words stay the company's.

Around the release, 6ix adds what helps you place it: the company's name and listing, the date it was issued, a link to the company's page, its earlier releases on the same story, the deck it posted with the release, and the call where management spoke about it, or else its latest call.

Anything 6ix writes about a company's material is labelled as 6ix's:

• Summary by 6ix AI marks a short summary of a news release, an exchange filing or a call, and the one-line summaries under a company's latest headlines. A call's summary shows only after a 6ix team member approves it.

How 6ix uses AI

• Summary by 6ix AI. A news release or an exchange filing can show a short summary in English, written by AI from its own text. A news release's summary is written only from the release itself, not from the other news, the About section or the forward-looking statements printed around it, and it must be about what the headline says. Every figure and claim in it is checked against the release before it shows; a figure from a table keeps the table's units. A release summary is written only for a company's own release: an article someone else wrote about the company, such as a news agency's story or a research firm's commentary, gets none. A release summary is also written to leave out a company's promotion of itself, and one that fails a check doesn't show. An exchange filing's summary is written from the filing; key facts in it are copied from the filing's tables and checked against the filing. When the original is in another language, the summary says which. On a company's page, each of its latest headlines can carry the first sentence of its Summary by 6ix AI.
• Summary by 6ix AI on a call. Some calls show a summary written by AI from the call's transcript. Every figure in it is checked against the transcript, and a 6ix team member approves it before it shows.
• 6ix AI. 6ix AI answers questions using companies' news releases and other material on 6ix. Its answers are written by AI.
• Transcripts. Earnings call transcripts are written by software from the replay's audio and can mishear names and figures. The replay is the record.

AI can be wrong. Read the original before you rely on anything AI wrote.
