Dow Jones's licensed news and company file, with monitoring and an API.

Published by Dow Jones.

PremiumGUIAPIInvestigative data & public records

In short

Factiva is Dow Jones's news and company-information product. The page opened on 16 Oct 2026 prints its own counts: 33,000 sources, 200 countries, 33 languages, 400,000 news articles a day, 35 million company profiles, and 70 million executive bios. Products on the page include the Factiva monitoring platform, Factiva AI Research Solutions, feeds and APIs, curated newsletters, and Oxford Analytica Premium. No price is printed. An article in Factiva is a licensed news item. It is not a public-records identification.

Product pricing strategy

Premium

The Factiva page does not print a price for the monitoring platform, the AI research feed, or the API. The source counts are not a fee. Ask Dow Jones for the quote, and say whether you need the web platform, a feed, or Oxford Analytica Premium. A RiskCenter login that can search Factiva is a Risk & Compliance quote unless it itemizes Factiva.

Utility and features

The Factiva page describes a monitored collection of premium news plus company and executive profiles. The counts above are printed on that page as Factiva's figures. The uses it names are business development, communications, competitive intelligence, research, consulting, finance, companies, and government.

News, companies, and bios. The page prints counts for sources, articles per day, company profiles, and executive bios.
A platform and a feed. Factiva is the monitoring product. AI Research Solutions and the APIs are delivery into other systems.
No printed price. The page offers a conversation with an advisor. It does not show a checkout.

Factiva AI Research Solutions is a feed or retrieval API of licensed news for a customer's own generative tools. The page says that license is what allows the news to be used with those tools. Feeds and APIs are the integration path. Oxford Analytica Premium is analysis inside Factiva and on the Oxford Analytica site. The page does not print a seat price. It says an advisor can show how Factiva fits. Dow Jones Risk & Compliance is a different page. That page says one RiskCenter tool searches Factiva. Searching Factiva from RiskCenter is not the same contract as a Factiva login unless the quote says so.

1
Decide whether you need the Factiva web platform, a feed, or Oxford Analytica before you ask for a price.
2
Cite the article and its publisher. Factiva is the library.
3
Check the date on a company or executive profile before you brief it as current.
4
Use the Risk & Compliance listing when the job is a sanction or PEP screen rather than news.

Caveats

The source counts are Factiva's. They do not mean every article about your subject is in the file, or that a company profile is current on the day you read it. Licensed news is still news. A profile of an executive is not a public-records report and not a sanction.

The AI research offer is a license for the customer's model. It is not permission to republish the articles. This listing did not open a Factiva search, so it does not describe the query screen. Do not treat a Factiva hit as the person-search result you would get from CLEAR or Accurint.

Potential use cases

Decide which Factiva door you need before you ask for a price. The page opened on 16 Oct 2026 describes the monitoring platform, Factiva AI Research Solutions, feeds and APIs, curated newsletters, and Oxford Analytica Premium. It prints source counts and does not print a seat price. The counts are 33,000 sources, 200 countries, 33 languages, 400,000 articles a day, 35 million company profiles, and 70 million executive bios. Those are Factiva's figures, not a fee.
An executive bio is about to be filed as a public-records dossier. It is a company-information profile inside a news library. Check the date on the profile before you brief it as current. Cite the article and its publisher when the item is news. Factiva is the library. Licensed news is still news, and it is not a sanction and not an Accurint identity record.
A team wants the articles inside its own generative tool. The page describes Factiva AI Research Solutions as a licensed feed or retrieval API for that use. The license is what the page says allows the news to be used with the customer's tools. It is not permission to republish the articles. A RiskCenter login that can search Factiva is a Risk & Compliance quote unless the quote itemizes Factiva.

Hard cases

The case where the first result is easy to over-read.

A source count is briefed as coverage of one subject

The figures on the Factiva page describe the file Factiva says it holds. They do not mean every article about your subject is in it, or that a company profile was updated today. Quote the count as the page's claim and the date you read it. Then cite the article you actually opened. This listing did not open a Factiva search, so it does not describe the query screen.

Questions

Is Factiva free?

The page does not show a free tier or a price. The monitoring platform, the feeds, and Oxford Analytica Premium read as sales products.

Are the source counts a guarantee of coverage?

They are the figures printed on the Factiva page. They describe the file Factiva says it has. They are not a promise about one subject.
