Newswire Versus Aggregator
Newswires like Benzinga originate the content in-house instead of relying on external sources. In other words, Benzinga generates the content that is delivered in real-time, with real people, all employed by Benzinga.
Aggregators scrape the web for second-hand content making them slower and prone to a massive amount of repetition and noise. While aggregators often provide delayed information and limit content to headlines, Benzinga’s Newswire allows for fully embedded articles in real-time. Users will no longer have to leave your site to get all of the information that they need.
