How does this reporting system work?? Do the firms tell you what they have been doin and completing or is there some insider tip-off?
Larger cases and/or ones that are not press released we may cover in more detail. Those usually come from insider info or other contacts, sometimes off-the-record.
Hope this explains,
Kian
