CisionPoint Wins 2009 CODiE Award As Best Online News Service 

Industry Recognizes Cision's On-Demand Platform in Its Debut at Awards Ceremony

Cision, the leading provider of media research, distribution, monitoring and
analysis services to public relations professionals and other communicators,
today announced that CisionPoint has been selected as the Best Online News
Service at the 2009 CODiE Awards ceremony - its first year of eligibility for
such recognition.

Established in 1986 and sponsored by the Software and Information Industry
Association (SIIA), the CODiE Awards celebrate outstanding achievement and
vision in the software, digital information and education technology industries.

CisionPoint - nominated as a finalist for three CODiE Awards, the maximum number
of categories in which a product can be entered - won the Best Online News
Service award in a competition with the National Geographic and Vocus Inc. The
winners, announced last night at a gala event, were chosen based on a tiered
voting system consisting of the expert panels of judges responsible for
nominating finalists, SIIA members voting online, and attendees at the award
ceremony's Exhibits Showcase.

“Thousands of organizations rely on Cision to monitor their media coverage -
whenever and wherever it appears - from print media, broadcast, online, and
social media sources. In CisionPoint, they have one solution that enables them
to understand what people around the world are saying about their company and
their entire industry,” said Brett Safron, senior vice president, global product
management of Cision. “We are delighted and honored that the judges and voters
have selected CisionPoint as the best in its class, and are committed to
advancing the state of the art in media monitoring in the weeks and months
ahead.”

Introduced in late October 2007, CisionPoint was eligible for its first CODiE
Awards competition this year. In addition to Best Online News Service,
CisionPoint was nominated as the Best On-Demand Platform and Best Vertical
Market Business Content Solution. According to the SIIA, the 2009 CODiE Awards
received more than 850 total submissions from over 600 companies.

“Being selected as a CODiE Award finalist in three categories is a significant
and rare achievement for a new product, or any product,” said Hans Gieskes,
president and chief executive officer of Cision. “It demonstrates CisionPoint's
unique combination of advanced technology with best-in-class monitoring services
and information content.”

Since its introduction, CisionPoint has become the fastest growing on-demand PR
media management dashboard application, with more than 3,500 customers signed in

standard on-demand platform for its customers worldwide, including Fortune 500
