Xinhua employs more than 10,000 people—as compared to about 55,000 for Thompson Reuters; has 107 bureaus worldwide both collecting information on other countries and dispensing information about China; and maintains 31 bureaus in China—one for each province plus a military bureau. As most of the newspapers in China cannot afford to station correspondents abroad, or even in every Chinese province, they rely on Xinhua feeds to fill their pages. People’s Daily, for example, uses Xinhua material for approximately 25 percent of its stories. Xinhua is a publisher as well as a news agency—it owns more than 20 newspapers and a dozen magazines, and it prints in eight languages: Chinese, English, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, Arabic and Japanese.

Since 1996, Bizrate has been committed to amassing the web’s product and retailer information from the biggest names you know to the small but trustworthy shops just waiting to be found. With bizrate, shoppers can find the right product at the right price, every time.

The website’s current Editor-in-chief is Matt Atchity.

The website’s goal is defined as the following by the website’s FAQ: “To meticulously catalog all relevant information about electronic games (computer, console, and arcade) on a game-by-game basis, and then offer up that information through flexible queries and ‘data mining’. In layman’s terms, it’s a huge game database.” As of January 17, 2010, the catalog includes more than 91 separate gaming platforms (consoles, computers and handheld devices including mobile phones) and more than 30,000 unique games.
