Should I Use the Wire?
You may be asking yourself, how do I know if the wire
is right for my company? In, fact, using the wire can
be beneficial to all companies trying to increase
awareness about their business. The following are
some of the reasons our members have chosen to
use PR Newswire to distribute their news:
Effective
Sending your news release over the wire is the most
effective way to get your news to the media. All news
releases distributed by PR Newswire are delivered
directly into the central editing computers at daily
newspapers, newsweeklies, national news services
(like the AP, Dow Jones, Reuters), trade publications
and broadcast newsrooms. Additionally, all releases
are archived in more than 4,000 Web sites, databases
and online services (like Yahoo!, MSN.com, and
AOL.com) where they are accessible by millions,
including journalists, investors and general
consumers. This is important to our members because
their news releases are accessible in the locations
where the media go to get raw material for their
stories.
Credible
For more than 50 years, PR Newswire has been
viewed by the media as a valuable source for
legitimate and accurate news. Distributing your news
over PR Newswire can help smaller companies gain
credibility and visibility as their news is intermingled
alongside releases from major corporations.
High Visibility
Each day savvy consumers and investors turn to the
Internet to gather information. Search engines are
becoming the most popular way to gather this
information, in fact, everyday there are approximately
550 million searches worldwide using 50 million
keywords. PR Newswire has the capability to optimize
each release to make them most attractive to the
leading seach engines such as Google, Yahoo!, and
Ask Jeeves, providing a completely new level of
visibility for news releases.

cost of postage. The standard news release that runs
about 400 words can be sent to all media in your
state, plus trade publications, and also distributed to
more than 4,000 Web sites, online services and
databases for as little at $180. If targeting a national
