This purchase includes news monitoring clients and clip fulfillment for Albany and statewide New York. For clients of The Daily Recorder, Universal Information Services expands your ability to monitor all news for local, state, and nationwide issues.
“We are very excited about the new clients we will be serving in New York, in addition to our clients around the world,” said Todd Murphy, Universal Information Services Vice President. “We thank Mark Verdile, owner of The Daily Recorder, for wanting Universal to carry on the high standards he has set for the service under his ownership.” The news monitoring and analysis services provided by Universal will now give this market access to comprehensive media monitoring and PR measurement insights through our media analysis team.

“Although we’re over 100 years old, I make sure we operate with the innovation of a start-up organization,” Murphy said. “We call this the art of the restart, ensuring we remain relevant and diversified at all times. Very few monitoring services of our age are still considered leaders in the industry.”
