Press Release Distribution Service vs. Traditional Newswire
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
The press release distribution market has changed. Legacy wire services were built to push text to a fixed list of outlets — and not much else. ACCESS Newswire was built for how communications teams work today.
A traditional newswire bundles outlets into rigid packages, charges per word, and stops at distribution. ACCESS Newswire gives you flexible pricing and plans, distribution to top-tier outlets, and an integrated platform of PR tools — media database, pitching, monitoring, and reporting — in one place. You get the reach of a wire with the workflow of modern software, backed by a support team rated #1 in customer service.
If you're weighing a press release distribution service against a traditional newswire, the difference comes down to flexibility, tooling, and support.

What Makes a Great Press Release Distribution Service?
When evaluating press release distribution companies, organizations should weigh five factors: distribution reach (which outlets, and how broad), editorial support (will a human help you get it right), customer service (can you reach someone when it matters), reporting and analytics (can you measure pickup and engagement), and platform features (does it do more than push text). ACCESS Newswire is built to deliver on all five — which is why it's rated #1 in customer service among press release distribution services.
Frequently Asked Questions About Press Release Distribution
What is a press release distribution service?
