Overall Satisfaction with Business Wire
It is likely that most of our editorial team has used Business Wire for their work. As a business media company, we look to share the most current and important news with our readers, which can often be found on Business Wire. Personally, I use it to search for news related to the smart cities industry, as well as the waste and recycling industry.
- The site has a very specific search function that makes it easy for users to sort through the many press releases put on the site each day, making the process easier/more efficient.
- The "Media & Journalist Tools" tab is helpful for myself and my colleagues, specifically, the RSS feeds to make sure we're staying on top of business happenings.
- I don't use the "How-To" section, though I know folks who have to learn more about writing press releases, and I've heard it's very helpful.
- I think the overall UX and design of the site can be improved.
- Users could benefit from an even more robust "advanced search" function to sort through releases.
- Business Wire should make its "Earnings" section more prominent. That's such an important part of business media and could really be improved on this site.
- Allows us to break news quicker
- More accurate sourcing
- Timely topics
I like both services very much, but I prefer the topics, trends, and companies that Business Wire prioritizes. I also like the resources that Business Wire offers such as the tools under the "education" tab. PR Newswire doesn't quite offer the same resources. Overall, I prefer Business Wire over PR Newswire. I have not tried other similar services.
