Newswire is an electronic news-service that delivers up-to-the-minute news, usually via the internet, for a fee, to subscribing journalists and editorial offices, the print industry, and database systems.
It’s major significance is that it helps reach the right audience since their services use multiple distribution methods, ensuring that your press release reaches the right audience at the right time.
There are seven core reasons organizations use newswires to distribute their breaking news content, namley – trust, reach, visibility, innovation, disclosure, public demand and longevity.
Today, there are global wires and regional wires that distribute to specific markets allowing information creators such as companies to choose where they want their story to reach.
Once posted to the wire, journalists and news outlets who subscribe to that particular wire will be able to see it. However, depending on the size and popularity of the wire, there can be tens of thousands of press releases posted a day. While many wires will allow journalists to filter releases based on topic, there is always a massive amount of content to sift through.
Subscribing journalists and newsrooms can monitor the wire through email alerts or they may simply check the wire on a regular to semi-regular basis.
All this goes to show the important role of wire services in disseminating information and news ultimately to the public.
