LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Homeland Security Newsline was officially launched today by PrimeZone Media Network, the nation's third-largest press release wire service and an innovator in the communications industry.
Homeland Security has grown into a major concern, with companies across the nation contributing to safety both here and abroad. Recognizing the importance of meeting the specific communications needs of this fast-growing sector, PrimeZone developed the Homeland Security Newsline.
Releases sent over the Homeland Security Newsline go directly to reporters and editors who are covering this emerging news beat throughout the globe. In addition, the news is delivered to key government officials, offices and organizations as well as the traditional general news media in both print and broadcast areas. Your news is also transmitted to the nation's wire services and disclosure media, including Dow Jones, Reuters and Bloomberg, for example.
The Homeland Security Newsline includes distribution to thousands of online news sites and databases, including Yahoo!, Excite, MSNBC, Bloomberg.com, Lycos and Factiva. Since "security" is a global issue, PrimeZone has designed several packages aimed at distribution in Canada, Europe and Latin America as well as the U.S.
"We are constantly listening to our clients and many of them had said this was a service that was needed," said Tom Madden, PrimeZone's CEO. "We have carefully analyzed the unique distribution needs for Homeland Security, and developed the Homeland Security Newsline to fulfill those needs."
