We started this company because we were tired of watching good announcements disappear into feeds nobody reads. Our job is to get your story to the publishers and journalists who cover your beat, then show you exactly where it ran.
Newswire Distribution was founded in 2016 by a small group who had spent years on the receiving end of press releases: two former wire editors, a national newspaper business reporter, and a pair of agency PR leads. Between us we'd assigned, killed and rewritten thousands of pitches. We'd also sent plenty of releases that vanished without a trace. The pattern was obvious. Most "distribution" was a blast to a database, a vanity report full of automated republishes, and silence from anyone who actually decides what gets covered.
So we built the service we wished we'd had. We are not a reseller: we hold direct contracts with 800+ publishers in 100+ countries, including premium outlets such as Yahoo Finance, AP News and Benzinga, which is why we can be fast and affordable. A human editor reads every release, most go live within about an hour, and the report names each outlet and links the coverage. Plans start at $49 a release, with a free plan if you'd rather test us first. If a story doesn't earn attention, we'd rather tell you why than hide it behind a big number. You can see how that plays out in our case studies, or read our editorial guidelines before you submit your next release.
Four ideas shape how we hire, how we edit and how we write a placement report.
Coverage you earn is worth more than coverage you buy. We pitch on merit and let editors decide. One story in a trade title your customers actually read beats fifty automated republishes.
Every report names the outlet, links the article and shows a screenshot. If a release underperforms, you hear it from us first, with a plain-English note on why. The pickup count you see is the count we verified.
Nothing leaves our desk unread. An editor checks the angle, the lede and the facts before anything goes out. That read takes minutes, not days, and it keeps one sloppy release from burning contacts we spent years earning.
Reporters remember who wastes their inbox. We send a desk only the stories it can use, so the same editors open our emails year after year. The same goes for our 800+ publisher contracts: they're direct, they took years to build, and we protect them.
A team that has worked the phones in newsrooms and managed campaigns from the agency side.

We were paying four figures a release for reports full of automated republishes. Our first send here went live within the hour, landed in two trade titles we'd chased for a year, and produced a report I could forward to the board without editing.
