LONDON, January 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Stockopedia, the premier social media site for UK stock market investors, and PR Newswire Europe, the global leader in news and information distribution services for professional communicators, today announced a content distribution partnership that broadens the scope and reach of information, discussion and analysis of listed companies for Stockopedia users.

Stockopedia also provides real-time analytics for its publishing partners.

"This partnership underscores the benefits of combining PR Newswire Europe's global reach with Stockopedia's cadre of contributors and body of research to assemble a wide range of investor content," said Edward Croft, CEO of Stockopedia. "The addition of a real-time time news feed for global markets makes this proposition even more compelling for our investing audience."
