I find Newswire more approachable and easy to use, especially as someone who only occasionally issues press releases. The UI is friendly and fairly easy to figure out, even after long stints of no use. I also like being able to drill down to particular markets, geographically …

We find NewsWire so much easier to use and it seems to actually get reach. In the past, we didn't seem to get any actual visibility on our releases, but NewsWire shows us who read our release and where.

To be honest, they are very similar in many ways. Business Wire, for example, is more focused on business news as opposed to other types of news. Newswire has a more general and broader application. Other news services like Bloomberg are only interested if the company is …

They all seem the same to me, just with varying interfaces and pricing. I went with Newswire just because I've used them in the past and have had a good experience. I am sure Cision is also good as it's an industry leader. The markets are a little varied, too, but I have not …

24-7 Press Release was a cheaper option (at least, when I used it), but there wasn't nearly the sort of visibility on the distribution once things were published. PR Newswire had a very extensive process for creating an account, and the last time I worked with them, I had …

As a general rule, press releases announcing an event are more effective than product or corporate business deals press releases. This may be because events are people-centered and tend to be one of a kind. The interest in a new product, unless it is an upgrade to an existing product line or service, attracts little attention. There are exceptions; if, for example, there is an outbreak of some pathogen and the company is working on a solution, then interest is higher. News has to be related to current concerns.

The editorial process was always very hard on our sale releases. Even if we followed the same structure we used to with PR Wire they would flag it as advertorial.
The option for video is nice but would be better to actually embed it into a part of the release versus just floating at the bottom.
Would be interesting for them to share more industry-specific releases or give the option to only get emails on specific industries. The E-blasts are always too general.

Simple step-by-step process to get your news out to the world. Easy to understand process and explanation as you go through the steps. Each upgrade does have a charge, but it's pretty visible. Once you get familiar with their platform and systems, it becomes fairly easy to use to get your news published. It's also nice how quickly you are able to get the news out and published in the places you choose.
