Formatting Problems and Outdated Stories

Generally, errors in formatting are the result of an error in the news feed received by Yahoo!. These problems usually resolve themselves when we get a new batch of stories. If formatting errors persist, please select an area of news from the list above and notify the provider directly.

Outdated stories on Yahoo! may mean that one of our feeds is broken. Before you report the problem, please hit the reload button on your browser to make sure you're not reading a cached version of our page. Also, check the update schedule for the feed you're looking at, because some of our feeds don't update overnight or during the weekend. If it still looks like there's a problem, notify us at reuters-admin@yahoo-inc.com.

How to Submit a Press Release

All company press releases and news stories available on Yahoo! originate from other sources. We cannot take individual press releases and add them to our service. If you are interested in having your company's press releases show up on Yahoo!, contact PR Newswire and/or Business Wire. For a fee, either of these services will make sure hundreds of news services are aware of any company announcements.
