PR Newswire

PR Newswire is a press release distribution service founded in 1954 and acquired by Cision in 2015. It helps brands and communications teams distribute news, target audiences, and monitor coverage across more than 170 countries and 40 languages, addressing the challenge of getting stories seen by media outlets, journalists, and influencers worldwide.

The Amplify platform brings planning, creation, distribution, and reporting into one AI-enhanced workflow. Its Create tool generates campaign assets such as blog posts, snapshot videos, and media pitches, while the Plan module supports research and campaign strategy. The Press Release Score provides content insights, and SocialBoost generates platform-optimized social posts. Additional capabilities include Multichannel Amplification, ProfNet for connecting experts with journalists, MediaRoom content hubs, branded landing pages, earnings webcasts, investor relations websites, and paid placement options.

PR Newswire serves public relations, marketing, investor relations, and agency teams, as well as event organizers and technology or financial services brands. Products are organized by type, including marketing, public relations, IR and compliance, and agency solutions. The pages describe a range of distribution, content creation, and amplification services rather than a single fixed plan, with options spanning global distribution, targeted media placements, and managed live event services.
