Oregon Business has launched the first online real-time stream dedicated to business news on its website, OregonBusiness.com. The service will deliver unprecedented statewide business and economic information in real time, Editor Robin Doussard said. Oregon Business is the nation's first business publication and first magazine to use Nozzl Media's proprietary real-time streaming technology.

News content for BUSINESS NEWS NOW will come from more than 350 content sources, including news organizations, private and public companies, economic-development agencies and colleges and universities in Oregon, in addition to  the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The real-time technology, provided by Portland-based Nozzl Media Inc., will stream news updates to the home page of OregonBusiness.com as they are posted to the Internet. An optional filter will allow users to tailor what they want to see.

"The continuous news stream in Business News Now provided by Nozzl Media will be invaluable to readers who want to know the news before it hits the news websites," said Doussard. "Nozzl's groundbreaking technology allows readers access to the root sources of business information in Oregon."

"Nozzl Media is eager to provide Oregon Business's online readers with literally up-to-the-minute updates about breaking company news, corporate regulatory filings, blog postings from economists and other high-value information," said Steve Woodward, chief executive officer of Nozzl Media.
