How do you gather information for your publications?
In a variety of ways. First, our editors are in constant touch with our editorial board members, sponsors and subscribers, providing us more focused, more intensive coverage than any other publisher serving our markets. We employ a network of freelancers and stringers who help extend our coverage of these markets. In addition, we subscribe to financial news and information services, news wires, the Internet, and numerous if related publications. If YOU have a lead on a story you think might be newsworthy, for example, or if you have an idea for the development of a feature article, we'd love to hear from you. To submit those leads or ideas, simply e-mail iren@irei.com.
