Key Facts:
- Verified authorship is now a major trust signal as AI tools increasingly rely on source credibility to surface company news.
- Expanding beyond U.S. availability, CLEAR Verified is now available for GlobeNewswire press releases in Canada.
- Press releases with verified identity signals are more likely to be trusted by journalists, investors, readers and AI search.
Today, anyone can publish news online - but how do readers know which news to trust?
This question matters more than ever as AI reshapes how people discover, evaluate and share company information.
That’s why we’re raising the bar for trusted communications.
With the launch of CLEAR Verified for GlobeNewswire press releases in Canada, Canadian organizations can now give journalists, investors and readers instant confidence that their news is real and coming from a verified source.
What Is CLEAR Verified? And Why Does It Matter?
Trust is everything in today’s fast-moving, AI-driven world. As more people get their news sourced from tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, it’s becoming harder to tell what’s credible and what isn’t.
With the CLEAR Verified badge, communications teams can show that their press releases come from an authenticated sender - making it easier for journalists, investors and readers to verify the source at a glance.
“At Notified, we’re committed to giving IR and PR pros the tools they need to protect the integrity of their communications,” said Erik Carlson, Chief Executive Officer at Notified. “By making CLEAR Verified available to Canadian GlobeNewswire customers, we’re ensuring that the press release remains the gold standard of trusted corporate news.”
How CLEAR Verified Works
CLEAR Verified adds an extra layer of security to GlobeNewswire’s already strong verification process.
When this feature is enabled, a digital badge appears on the press release, confirming that the sender’s identity has been verified through CLEAR’s secure system.
The verification process includes biometric and ID checks such as a selfie and government-issued identification to confirm authorship. Returning users can verify in just one step.
This simple workflow gives readers, AI platforms and media outlets clear confidence that the news is legitimate.
Benefits of CLEAR Verified for Canadian Communicators
CLEAR Verified brings several important benefits to GlobeNewswire customers in Canada:
- Stronger Security: Adds another layer of protection to ensure press releases are sent by verified individuals.
- Flexible Use: Choose to apply the ‘CLEAR Verified’ badge to all releases or only sensitive announcements.
- Privacy Protection: CLEAR’s advanced security ensures your personal data stays private and is never sold.
- Broader Use: Once verified, you can use your CLEAR identity across other participating services and platforms.
“In the ever-changing world of AI, ensuring that your news is from a verifiable company source can make a difference,” said Nathalie Megann, President and CEO of the Canadian Investor Relations Institute (CIRI). “As CIRI’s National Strategic Partner, we applaud Notified for this simple but impactful enhancement.”
