Newswire
What it is
Newswire is a web-based service for press release and multimedia distribution, with tools for media outreach and monitoring. Its Media Suite brings together a media database, pitching, monitoring, a media room, and release distribution. Distribution packages target audiences through channels including AP News, Yahoo, Nexstar, Benzinga, and Digital Journal.
Newswire Analytics provides campaign performance data, PDF reports, email open and click tracking, and social engagement metrics. Users can add their own Google Analytics code to the member panel. Monitoring supports customizable keyword alerts delivered in real time, hourly, daily, or weekly, with no stated limit on alerts or users. The service describes media lists and journalist pitching for small businesses, PR agencies, and in-house PR teams. It says editorial review notifications are sent within a few hours, and lists toll-free phone and chat support. Pricing is on request for services; the public pricing page lists distribution packages priced per release, not an ongoing software subscription. Options include STARTER at $399, paid once and FEATURE at $965, paid once.
