[Alacra] Google vs. Factiva vs. LexisNexis vs. Dialog NewsRoom?

"[T]he real challenge for Factiva, LN and Dialog NewsRoom is not making the content more available, it's adding value to the content in ways Google (or Yahoo!) cannot or will not. [...]

There will always be clients who need the content that is available via Factiva, LN and Newsroom that is not freely available on the web. Trade journals, the Wall Street Journal, and New York Times archives, for example, are not served up by Google News. So knowledge workers in financial and professional services, who need comprehensive and complete "news runs", should be safe markets. It's the marginal, price sensitive user that will become increasingly difficult for the premium services to win over."
