What EIN Presswire offers, in its own words

• "EIN Presswire has been distributing news since 1995." "The EIN Presswire service is operated by Newsmatics Inc. (previously IPD Group, Inc.), an independent privately-held company registered in the United States." It adds: "EIN Presswire is not part of Cision/PR Newswire."
• Distribution: "Our distribution network reaches recognized news platforms, local broadcast affiliates, industry and regional publications, news databases and journalist channels around the world."
• Reach: "EIN Presswire includes access to Affinity Group Publications (AGP), a global network of 3,900+ niche news sites covering industries, regions, and communities around the world."
• What is guaranteed: its FAQ asks "Does distribution through EIN Presswire guarantee that the media will use my news release?" and answers: "We guarantee that your releases will be published on the distribution networks that we control and go out through gateway services such as Google News, AP News, and on major network TV and radio websites such as NBC, CBS, Fox, etc., for republishing."
• Writing: asked "Do you offer press release writing services?", it answers: "Sorry, we don’t, but we do have thousands of good examples from our clients on our website. In addition, we've launched a free AI-powered press release generator." Review: "Every press release is reviewed by our editorial team to make sure it meets our editorial guidelines and has a clearly identifiable source."
• Timing: "After the check is complete, and for existing customers, it generally takes about two hours to review your release prior to distribution." "All press releases issued through EIN Presswire allow scheduling when filling out the press release submission form."
• Reporting: "Distribution reports are available within two to four hours after publishing/distribution." "Your report includes publication information and live links showing where your release appeared, making it easy to share the results with clients, colleagues or management."

When EIN Presswire is the better choice

• You want to aim a release at a place or an industry. EIN Presswire says: "Customers can also target their distribution by industry, country and U.S. state, helping announcements reach audiences where they are most relevant."
• You already have the release written and want a report of where it appeared within hours.
• You publish in more than one language: "EIN Presswire distributes press releases in all languages."

One case where EIN Presswire says it is not enough on its own: "We do feed into Bloomberg Terminals, but this will not be enough to meet SEC publicly traded company financial disclosure requirements."

A wire and a placed story do different jobs

A wire puts your announcement in front of newsrooms in your own words, on the day you choose. Whether a journalist then writes about it is up to the journalist. PR Newswire puts the case for a wire this way: "Using a trusted newswire enhances credibility, expands reach beyond owned channels, and increases the likelihood of media pickup and third-party validation."

A placed feature story works the other way round. The story is written and approved first, then placed on news sites, so you know it will run. Mat release vs press release sets out the difference, and the feature story or press release test asks six questions to tell you which one your news needs.

Business Wire is another established wire. Its website turned away our automated reads when this page was written, so it is not described here; see businesswire.com for what it offers. For services that place finished feature stories rather than send out releases, see feature syndication services compared.

What to compare before you choose

• Distribution or placement. A wire sends your release out. A placement service puts a finished story on news sites. Ask which one you are buying.
• What the reach number counts. Newsrooms, journalists, websites, feeds and subscribers are different things. Ask how many pages your release will actually appear on.
• How it appears. Ask whether it shows up on partner sites as a press release, as sponsored content or as a story, and how it is labeled.
• Who writes and edits it. Some services proofread or review your release, some will write it, and some do neither.
• The report. Ask for a sample report and open the links yourself, or paste them into the placement report checker.
