Newswire

Newswire is a pay per release press release distribution service from ACCESS Newswire, with AP News pickup on higher plans and single state targeting.

Newswire is a press release distribution service for companies that want an announcement to reach news sites, search results and journalists without signing an annual contract. It is one of the brands of ACCESS Newswire Inc., the company formerly named Issuer Direct Corporation, which signs the Newswire terms of service in its own name. Each release is bought on its own, so the cost follows the news rather than a calendar. That suits teams whose announcements come in bursts around launches, funding and events. Press Release Distribution is the part with published plans, and the plans differ by the network a release reaches: online news and Digital Journal at entry level, AP News in the middle, and Yahoo, Nexstar and other major outlets at the top. State Distribution is the alternative shape, sending one release to regional outlets, local TV stations and state digital publications in a single chosen state, with an Insights and Analytics report included. Every plan covers unlimited words and images. Around distribution, the same platform holds the Press Release Optimizer, a media suite, monitoring and analytics, and a Media Room that keeps each release on a permanent, search indexed page. The service fits local businesses and startups placing their first announcements, growing companies that want national pickup for a launch, and marketing leads or founders who write and place their own news. Companies whose releases are regulatory disclosures are the clear exception: the vendor keeps that work in a separate financial distribution business and says so on the pricing page. Everything here is bought per release rather than per seat or per month, and the plan cards list every tier. In practice a release is written, submitted through the platform, categorized by industry, geography and news type so journalists on the right beat can find it, and then tracked on pickup and readership once it runs. The permanent hosted page is what most buyers keep using afterwards, as a link in campaigns and a page search engines index. Newswire sits beside ACCESS Newswire and PressRelease.com, the group's other two brands, so a company that starts here and later needs investor communications stays with the same account team.
