“Although we’re over 100 years old, I make sure we operate with the innovation of a start-up organization,” said Todd Murphy, Universal Information Services VP. “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.”
The Daily Recorder was founded in 1993 by media and news industry veteran Mark Verdile.
“We thank Mark Verdile for wanting Universal to carry on the high standards he has set for the service under his ownership,” Murphy said.
Universal provides media contacts/releasing, media monitoring and PR measurement & insights.
James L. Murphy is president.
