eNewsRelease.com Adds Wires, Becomes First All-Media Distribution Service

Unique Total Press Release Service Sends to More Than 100,000 Journalists and Databases via Wire, Email, Fax or Mail


NORWALK, Conn., Jan. 26, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- eNewsRelease.com, a leading distributor of news releases for public relations firms, companies and non-profit organizations, today announced that it has added wire capability, thereby becoming the only release distributor to offer a full range of channels -- wire, targeted journalist distribution and custom list management. Targeted media distributions are accomplished by fax, email and mail -- according to the Journalists' preferred method of receipt -- and reach more than 115,000 journalists.

Jon Victor, the company's CEO, said, "We created and now offer eNewsWire, which provides publicists with the best of the top wire services. eNewsWire is in part powered by PrimeZone Media Network, Inc., with whom we recently contracted. Their satellite-based wire service capabilities reach hundreds of media points including high-tech media, regional news feeds, trade publications, TV and radio stations, as well as databases and online services. Because of its broad reach and reliable service, eNewsWire may be used to fulfill SEC disclosure obligations."

Tom Madden, CEO of PrimeZone, headquartered in Los Angeles, said, "We are proud eNewsRelease.com has chosen us to be part of their new eNewsWire service because it confirms our value compared with other distribution vehicles."

The Web site, www.eNewsRelease.com, combines wire capability with a media database, release distribution and post-release management into a single, easy-to-use, online tool for PR practitioners. The continuously updated media database allows clients to search and select journalists by beat, location and media type. Features include storage of customized lists, previously used lists and releases; detailed contact reports (names, titles and phone numbers); and the ability to compose a release online or upload it directly.

eNewsRelease.com began as Campus Release Network, a news distribution service that has served the education market since 1997. The company has broadened its scope to include companies and public relations firms as well as fund-raising, political and other non-profit organizations.
