GlobeNewswire was a Nasdaq, Inc. subsidiary from September 2006 until April 2018 when West Corporation acquired the Public Relations Solutions and Digital Media Services Businesses,[1] including GlobeNewswire, from Nasdaq.

Formerly known as PrimeNewswire, the company changed its name to GlobeNewswire in 2008 to better reflect its international scope.[2]
