Use Newsmaker for professional, effective press releases

Fast and easy

Your press releases go directly to the media in the manner they specify--e-mail, fax or feed--in seconds. Your messages never bounce and we ensure that contacts are up-to-date so you don't have to. And your press releases are always sent in the way that media want so you get more visibility and better pickup.

Reach local media

readMedia knows that local media--especially community weeklies, radio, and small daily newspapers--remain a critical way to reach your audience. Your Newsmaker account includes all of the local media in your geography so your news gets in front of the readers and listeners that matter to you.

Online the right way

Getting your news online is critical now that more people are getting their news from the Internet than from newspapers. How to do it right? Newsmaker gets your press releases online and in front of Google, Yahoo and other search engines automatically with no extra steps for you. Your news will have a professional online presence for your web-savvy readers.

Include important extras

Photos, video, white papers, charts and other backup information make your press releases more useful and compelling. Newsmaker helps you deliver attachments without winding up in reporters' spam filters. Your important extras are stored on readMedia's servers so media can download them whenever, wherever they are. Newsmaker includes attachments online, too, to help your press releases stand out of the crowd.

Media lists that work

Use the media list that Newsmaker sets up for you or customize your own lists from your Newsmaker subscription--it's easy to set up and save lists from the media in your account. Need to communicate to a wider audience or national trade publications? Newsmaker's ready-made and sensibly priced circuit lists help you reach beyond your subscription to pitch big stories.

Make your own newswire

Your Newsmaker subscription includes a custom RSS feed of your press releases and "widget" code so that anyone can easily include a news feed from your organization on their website. Build your own network of news feeds with reports and metrics on your readers.
