Top Free Press Release Distribution Sites!

By Amarendra Bhushan for CEOWORLD Magazine Updated:March 18, 2009


Where should you send your news release, now that it is completed? The first thing you need to do is identify media outlets most likely to cover your story, and to build a media list. Thousands of journalists, newspapers, radio stations and TV stations can be reached with PRW’s press release distribution.

What is a press release?

A press release is pseudo-news story, written in third person, that seeks to demonstrate to an editor or reporter the newsworthiness of a particular person, event, service or product.

The press often relies on these press releases to form the factual basis for subsequent articles. During a newsworthy event, access to the actual individuals involved may be extremely limited. If the issue at hand is controversial or potentially damaging to a company’s reputation, a general news blackout may exist. Press releases allow companies to control the amount and substance of essential information the various media outlets may use.
