1. About PR Newswire

    PR Newswire is a company that sends news releases on behalf of organizations to the media, general public and the financial community. The company is headquartered in the U.S. with offices around the world. Its customers include public relations and investor relations practitioners at both the agency and corporate level, as well as numerous non-profits and government agencies. Some marketing and advertising professionals also use PR Newswire since it offers multimedia capabilities to target consumers directly.

    PR Newswire started out in 1954 as a vendor hired by companies and agencies to send out text press releases to the media. Since that time PR Newswire has evolved into a company that is hired by corporations, PR firms and NGOs to deliver news and multimedia content to a wide variety of audiences. Recipients include the media, consumers and investors who access the content via the Web, RSS, email, satellite, equities terminals (such as Bloomberg and Reuters), and direct feeds into newsroom editorial systems.

    Public corporations in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and other nations, use PR Newswire as a method of reaching the investment and financial news community simultaneously with important news and announcements, thus achieving the standard of "simultaneous disclosure" demanded by financial markets and regulatory agencies.

    Headquartered in New York, PR Newswire has offices in 11 countries and sends news to outlets in 135 countries. The company’s brands and services include ProfNet, eWatch, MEDIAtlas, MultiVu, U.S. Newswire, Vintage Filings, MediaRoom and MediaSense. It also has agreements with global news agencies such as Bloomberg, the Associated Press, Dow Jones and Reuters to send information directly to newsrooms worldwide. PR Newswire is a subsidiary of United Business Media plc of London.
