U.S. National Distribution
Package Features
OVERVIEW - OUR MOST POPULAR PLANS: Reach 6,000+ daily media outlets in the U.S. via Send2Press email media lists and via the AP. Reach applicable U.S. national trade periodicals (magazines). News included on APNews.com, Apple News, Google News, Bing News, and syndicated onto 150-350 websites same day of issuance. Free reporting; free media monitoring with Google. Social sharing with custom #tags. Free image and video embeds. (Note: Features vary by package plan type.)
HOW THIS WORKS: In left column you will find the type of service included in this distribution plan package. Right column shows the features unique to either BASIC or PRO plan package. All pricing is per release issued and not a membership or subscription.
AT A GLANCE - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? The "PRO" package, our most popular service, includes email distribution to daily media in all U.S. states; email push to applicable trade media by email; one 300dpi hosted print image (photo OR logo) for media. "BASIC" package only pushes to daily and trade media nationwide via the AP; one web resolution image used for syndication and social. All other features the same.
Reach U.S. daily media (newspapers and broadcast), targeted where possible (e.g., finance editor vs. entertainment editor, etc.). With both plans, via AP, includes push to major news networks* in New York, including ABC News, Bloomberg Finance, Business Insider, CBS News, FOX News Radio, NBC News, Hearst Media, INC Magazine, Wall Street Journal, and much more.
BASIC PLAN: Reach daily media at over 3,000 U.S. newspapers and broadcast newsrooms via the Associated Press (AP). Does not include Send2Press' Direct-to-Editors™ email push.
PRO PLAN: In addition to AP push, adds Send2Press® Direct-to-Editors™ email push to 3,000+ U.S. daily media contacts at daily/weekly U.S. newspapers, TV, and news/talk radio; targeted where possible to relevant editor(s)*.
OPTIONAL REGIONAL DAILY MEDIA TARGETING (OR CUSTOM STATE MIS): With either plan you may select custom mix of U.S. States or more than one U.S. Region in place of "all" U.S. States. Example: you could pick AZ, CA, FL, NY; or you could pick NE and W/SW. (This replaces the old "U.S. Regional" package, as redundant since pricing was/is the same for either.)
DISCLAIMER: Send2Press cannot "guarantee" any specific media outlet will see/read your news. This is outside our control via AP, and/or local email filtering. Total U.S. editorial pool via AP and Send2Press is approximately 150,000 media folk.
VIEW OUR MEDIA LISTSBASIC PLAN: Reach selected business and trade publications via the AP see the Send2Press U.S. AP TRADES (PDF) file on our media lists page (link button below).
PRO PLAN: Adds Direct-to-Editors™ email push to applicable U.S. industry trade periodicals (magazines) five categories typical, relevant to your actual announcement.
VIEW OUR MEDIA LISTSNews syndicated onto 200+ websites nationwide (with some international), same-day. Includes ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX news sites, major newspapers, and business/financial sites*. Some examples follow:
All news appears in Apple News*, Google News*, Bing News*, DuckDuckGo*, and all major search engines using our "white hat SEO" ContextEngine™ technology developed over 20 years ago (check our home page in Archive.org for proof).
ASSOCIATED PRESS: News appears on APNews.com, and up to 300 U.S. newspaper and broadcast sites* who syndicate AP content. Sites will vary, outside our control. Many appear in Google News.
SEND2PRESS CONTENT PARTNERS: Popular news sites* around the world syndicate our content, including: Digital Journal (Canada), TippNews Ohio, RobinsPost, WN.com, BizWire Express, MENAFN (Middle East), Newstag (Germany), News Break, StreetInsider.com, and more. Many appear in Google News.
NEOTROPE® NEWS NETWORK: Launched in 2004, the Neotrope News Network sites are an exclusive benefit of using the Send2Press Newswire service. High authority sites include: California Newswire®, Florida Newswire, Massachusetts Newswire, eNewsChannels and more. Some sites like Publishers Newswire and Advertising Industry Newswire only syndicate content if relevant to that site's audience. Content is generally permanent, and most appear in Google News.
GOMEDIA NETWORK: Through our partnership with GMN, your news appears on up to 100 small town daily and weekly newspaper websites, with full support for images and YouTube video. (These will be different sites than those syndication subscribers to the AP network.)
*IMPORTANT NOTE: most sites syndicated via the AP will "expire" in 30-60 days. 120+ sites will generally be permanent including many appearing in Google News. News with this plan does NOT appear on Yahoo! Finance, Morningstar, Benzinga, or other finance sites not mentioned as included. We cannot "guarantee" news will appear on all sites mentioned due to technical issues on part of syndicator, local site policies, etc.
VIEW OUR MEDIA LISTSSend2Press' has over 275,000 impressions per month on social, with 5,800 steady journalist and blogger followers across our four main social channels: Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Twitter (as of Feb. 2021). We support custom #tags for Twitter (if included bottom of press release). Links to social accounts noted below.
Selected partners share their syndicated copy of news to Twitter and Facebook as well (e.g., Robins Newswire has 24,000 global followers on Twitter, and over 5,000 followers on Facebook).
BOTH PLANS: News post is shared to Send2Press' Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and LinkedIn accounts. (Religion, political and "advertorial" news is not shared to LinkedIn.)
With all Send2Press distribution packages, client news is syndicated and shared across leading news and finance information systems, e-library, and competitive intelligence software companies' solutions.
This valuable reach for major enterprises and small-to-medium businesses, includes: Contify, EBSCO Information Services, Gale Cengage, HTmedia/HTDS, LexisNexis, Naviga (formerly AcquireMedia), Newsbank, Proquest, Syndigate, Thomson Reuters WestLaw and more.
SEND2PRESS PRTRAX™ CLIP REPORT: With both of our U.S. National distribution packages, we include our clip report dashboard to help you more easily locate your news. This includes clip reports for selected content partners, the Neotrope News Network, Financial Content Network, and custom Google search to locate syndicated content from the Associated Press (AP). Also includes click-through tracking from Twitter and Facebook. Report comes end of the day news is issued. 250+ clips are typical.
FREE MEDIA MONITORING: Over a decade ago we phased out our paid media monitoring solution since nearly everything now appears in Google. Thus, we switched to providing tools and information to use Google's advanced search tools for free media monitoring, vs. paying up to $500 per month for such a solution.
PRpurls™ CLICK-THROUGH TRACKING: With both plans, we include our social click-through tracking to provide some ROI on folks seeing news on Twitter and Facebook and choosing to "click through" to read full news item.
ON-PAGE READS TRACKING: All stories on our site have basic "how many times read" ongoing stats, publicly visible (no need for login), which ignores search engine scans.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some of our unscrupulous competitors advertise a "clip report" as "media monitoring" when they are two different things. Clip reports are typically an initial mostly static report of syndicated pick-ups. A true media monitoring solution looks for earned media pickup over time and must scour the entire internet daily.
BASIC PLAN: One web resolution image included for syndication, social and news systems like Google News and Apple News. 150 sites with image is typical. See our news room for examples; size is 800x600 pixels. (Note: AP sites do not currently support image.) Up to two additional web images may be added as paid "add-on" option. Print resolution images not supported with this plan (tip: you can link to any high-resolution images or gallery on your own website; or dropbox or Google docs page).
PRO PLAN: One hosted print resolution image (300dpi 3x4-inches, horizontal), also used for web syndication, social and news platforms. Up to two additional web or print images may be added as paid "add-on" option.
FREE VIDEO EMBED: With all plans, we can embed one YouTube or Vimeo video at no cost; with YouTube can be either "featured" full width below headline on our site, or half-width, at bottom of the release. We can optionally include a SoundCloud playlist in place of video, although not ideal for SEO (slows down page load on mobile). We cannot embed age restricted content from YouTube. Embeds generally work only on our main site, and YouTube video on selected sites like GoMedia Network.
IMPORTANT NOTE: AP sites do not currently support image(s). not all sites will include image, may only show one image above the text, and most will not embed video. We have no control over how news sites pulling our news content choose to present it, format it, or change it on their sites.
VIEW OUR NEWSROOMNATIONAL PLAN SCHEDULING:
BOTH PLANS: Can push "same day" if final approved copy received by 9 a.m. PT (12 p.m. ET). After 9 a.m. PT, will push "next day" (or schedule for future day/time).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our business hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST/PDT Monday through Friday. Closed weekends (Sat./Sun.) and major holidays. It should be self evident, but projects submitted Saturday or Sunday cannot go out prior to when we open on Monday. Projects submitted after closing Friday is the same as submitting Monday. "Next day" refers to next business day from project review/approval.
VIEW FORMAT REQUIREMENTS(*NOTE: Technically no limit, but please inquire first for "overlong" news announcements. Remember press releases are NOT articles, or blog posts!)
FREE NEWSROOM INDEX: With all service plan packages Send2Press creates a custom newsroom index with "about company" information, link to social accounts and link to client (news source) site. This index includes RSS feed which can be pulled dynamically into client website (e.g., using CMS like WordPress, Drupal, etc.).
ANCHOR LINK SUPPORT: Press release can have unlimited anchor links, within reason. ALL links in release will be rel="nofollow" per Google's 2013 guidelines to prevent "news spam" abuse. Visibile URLs preferable as they work everywhere, while anchor links on words will be removed on many sites. Links cannot be tracking redirects on visible URLs (meaning the link must go to the site shown, not a third party location). Link shorteners not recommended as media dislike "blind links."
With all Send2Press distribution packages, you may optionally hire one of our accredited staff to help you write, or even simply rewrite, your news announcement. Trust our 35+ years in the PR business and over 25,000 earned media engagements.
FULL WRITING WITH PR PRO: With this option you will work with our lead editor, Liisa Andreassen, who has worked at numerous trade magazines, and as part of the Send2Press team since 2006. She received her Masters in Media Studies from the New School for Social Research in New York City. Price is $199 as an "add-on" option you may select when ordering distribution package, and includes phone interview and multiple drafts to craft your best message for media.
ONE OR TWO DRAFT REWRITE: If you don't need a full interview and multiple drafts, you may provide your own "almost done" release, and Liisa will re-write your press release, then give back to you for approval or for you to make final additions/changes before anything goes out to media folk. One draft re-write is $89 and two-draft re-write is $169. These can be included with distribution package as an "add-on" option.

All news appears in Apple News*, Google News*, Bing News*, DuckDuckGo*, and all major search engines using our "white hat SEO" ContextEngine™ technology developed over 20 years ago (check our home page in Archive.org for proof).
ASSOCIATED PRESS: News appears on APNews.com, and up to 300 U.S. newspaper and broadcast sites* who syndicate AP content. Sites will vary, outside our control. Many appear in Google News.
SEND2PRESS CONTENT PARTNERS: Popular news sites* around the world syndicate our content, including: Digital Journal (Canada), TippNews Ohio, RobinsPost, WN.com, BizWire Express, MENAFN (Middle East), Newstag (Germany), News Break, StreetInsider.com, and more. Many appear in Google News.
NEOTROPE® NEWS NETWORK: Launched in 2004, the Neotrope News Network sites are an exclusive benefit of using the Send2Press Newswire service. High authority sites include: California Newswire®, Florida Newswire, Massachusetts Newswire, eNewsChannels and more. Some sites like Publishers Newswire and Advertising Industry Newswire only syndicate content if relevant to that site's audience. Content is generally permanent, and most appear in Google News.
GOMEDIA NETWORK: Through our partnership with GMN, your news appears on up to 100 small town daily and weekly newspaper websites, with full support for images and YouTube video. (These will be different sites than those syndication subscribers to the AP network.)
*IMPORTANT NOTE: most sites syndicated via the AP will "expire" in 30-60 days. 120+ sites will generally be permanent including many appearing in Google News.

VIEW OUR MEDIA LISTSSend2Press' has over 275,000 impressions per month on social, with 5,800 steady journalist and blogger followers across our four main social channels: Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Twitter (as of Feb. 2021). We support custom #tags for Twitter (if included bottom of press release). Links to social accounts noted below.
Selected partners share their syndicated copy of news to Twitter and Facebook as well (e.g., Robins Newswire has 24,000 global followers on Twitter, and over 5,000 followers on Facebook).
BOTH PLANS: News post is shared to Send2Press' Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and LinkedIn accounts. (Religion, political and "advertorial" news is not shared to LinkedIn.)
With all Send2Press distribution packages, client news is syndicated and shared across leading news and finance information systems, e-library, and competitive intelligence software companies' solutions.
This valuable reach for major enterprises and small-to-medium businesses, includes: Contify, EBSCO Information Services, Gale Cengage, HTmedia/HTDS, LexisNexis, Naviga (formerly AcquireMedia), Newsbank, Proquest, Syndigate, Thomson Reuters WestLaw and more.
BOTH PLANS: With both plans you will have a PRTrax™ clip report dashboard which includes 125-250 direct link clips, and more search tools for finding your news online.
FREE MEDIA MONITORING: Over a decade ago we phased out our paid media monitoring solution since nearly everything now appears in Google. Thus, we switched to providing tools and information to use Google's advanced search tools for free media monitoring, vs. paying up to $500 per month for such a solution.
PRpurls™ CLICK-THROUGH TRACKING: With both plans, we include our social click-through tracking to provide some ROI on folks seeing news on Twitter and Facebook and choosing to "click through" to read full news item.
ON-PAGE READS TRACKING: All stories on our site have basic "how many times read" ongoing stats, publicly visible (no need for login), which ignores search engine scans.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some of our unscrupulous competitors advertise a "clip report" as "media monitoring" when they are two different things. Clip reports are typically an initial mostly static report of syndicated pick-ups. A true media monitoring solution looks for earned media pickup over time and must scour the entire internet daily.
BASIC PLAN: One web resolution image included for syndication, social and news systems like Google News and Apple News. 150 sites with image is typical. See our news room for examples; size is 800x600 pixels. (Note: AP sites do not currently support image.) Up to two additional web images may be added as paid "add-on" option. Print resolution images not supported with this plan (tip: you can link to any high-resolution images or gallery on your own website; or dropbox or Google docs page).
PRO PLAN: One hosted print resolution image (300dpi 3x4-inches, horizontal); also used for web syndication, social and news platforms. Up to two additional web or print images may be added as paid "add-on" option.
FREE VIDEO EMBED: With all plans, we can embed one YouTube or Vimeo video at no cost; with YouTube can be either "featured" full width below headline on our site, or half-width, at bottom of the release. We can optionally include a SoundCloud playlist in place of video, although not ideal for SEO (slows down page load on mobile). We cannot embed age restricted content from YouTube. Embeds generally work only on our main site, and YouTube video on selected sites like GoMedia Network.
VIEW OUR NEWSROOMINDUSTRY PLAN SCHEDULING:
BOTH PLANS: Can be scheduled for "same day" if received by 9 a.m. PT (12 p.m. ET), and properly formatted per our requirements. If received after 9 a.m. PT, and by 1 p.m. PT, will push "next day" (or "future day/time" you specify).

Send2Press + PR Newswire Distribution
S2P+CISION U.S. National Distribution Packages
OVERVIEW: Adds distributtion via PR Newswire/CISION in addition to Send2Press National plan features. Reach daily media outlets in all U.S. states via the AP. News included on APNews.com, Apple News, Google News, Bing News, and syndicated onto 150-350 websites same day of issuance. Free reporting from both S2P and PRN; free media monitoring with Google. Social sharing with custom #tags. Free image and video embeds on S2P network. (Note: Features vary by package plan type.)
HOW THIS WORKS: In left column you will find the type of service included in this distribution plan package. Right column shows the features unique to either BASIC or PRO plan package. All pricing is per release issued and not a membership or subscription.
These plans add distribution online and to media via PR Newswire® (aka CISION Distribution), and will appear on PRnewswire.com and their related content partner sites. PRN does not allow any public company (with ticker symbol) news from third parties or from Send2Press. To avoid overlap issues, S2P headline must vary slightly from PRN version.
AT A GLANCE - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? The "PRO" package adds national syndication via the Gray Media Network in the U.S., PRN complimentary trade media contacts, PRN for Journalists website, and enhanced reporting from CISION. The "BASIC" package gives you placement in PRN's "tier 2" platform (far less online syndication), but is still placed on top finance sites like Yahoo! Finance, and more a great budget option for high visibility online.
Reach U.S. daily media, targeted where possible (e.g., finance editor vs. entertainment editor, etc.). With both plans, via AP, includes push to major news networks* in New York, including ABC News, Bloomberg Finance, Business Insider, CBS News, FOX News Radio, NBC News, Hearst Media, INC Magazine, Wall Street Journal, and much more.
BASIC PLAN: Reach daily media at over 3,000 U.S. newspapers and broadcast newsrooms via the Associated Press (AP). Does not include Send2Press' Direct-to-Editors™ email push. Note: With BASIC Plan, news will not appear on "PRN for Journalists" (PRNJ) opt-in website.
PRO PLAN: In addition to AP push, adds Send2Press® Direct-to-Editors™ email push to 3,000+ U.S. daily media contacts at daily/weekly U.S. newspapers, TV, and news/talk radio; targeted where possible to relevant editor(s)*. News appears on the "PRN for Journalists" opt-in website. This plan is superior to PRN's "US1" package.
OPTIONAL CUSTOM MIX: With either plan you may select custom mix of U.S. States or more than one U.S. Region in place of "all" U.S. States. Example: you could pick AZ, CA, FL, NY; or you could pick NE and W/SW. (See U.S. REGIONAL Package info for explanation of available states by "region.")
DISCLAIMER: Send2Press cannot "guarantee" any specific media outlet will see/read your news. This is outside our control via AP, and/or local email filtering. Total U.S. editorial pool via AP and Send2Press is approximately 150,000 media folk.
VIEW OUR MEDIA LISTSBASIC PLAN: Reach selected business and trade publications via the AP see the Send2Press U.S. AP TRADES (PDF) file on our media lists page (link button below). Does not include PRN's complimentary trades ("comp trades") or Send2Press Direct-to-Editors™ industry periodicals.
PRO PLAN: Adds PR Newswire® complimentary trades ("comp trades") via industry, such as financial services, software, or hospitality (etc.). Does not include Send2Press Direct-to-Editors™ industry periodicals.

CONTENT AND FORMAT REQUIREMENTS
We generally follow AP Style for our announcements. We cannot send bylined articles to media, only properly formatted press releases with dateline, proper attribution in first paragraph and attributed quotes (not blind quotes). You MUST review our content requirements prior to submitting any project. If content does not meet our requirements it will be delayed until fixed.IMPORTANT NOTES FOR ALL PLANS
SCHEDULING: Daily cut-off times (deadlines) vary by plan; see per plan information above. Our business hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST/PDT Monday through Friday. Closed weekends (Sat./Sun.) and major holidays. It should be self evident, but projects submitted Saturday or Sunday cannot go out prior to when we open on Monday. Projects submitted after closing Friday is the same as submitting Monday. "Next day" refers to next business day from project review/approval.SOCIAL SHARING: Note that for certain news such as political campaigns, religion/church, and "save 20% on widgets" news will not be shared to the Send2Press LinkedIn channel, which has a business focus.
IMAGES AND VIDEO: Not all sites that syndicate our news support inline images (including the AP at this time). Some may only show one image, some will show none. Some may enable video embed, most will not. This is outside our control. We provide various format feeds for content partners (and non-partners) and they choose what to pull from us, and how it will appear.
PERSISTENCE OF SYNDICATED NEWS CONTENT ONLINE: Most sites syndicated via the AP will "expire" in 30-60 days. 120+ sites via Send2Press content partners will generally be permanent including many appearing in Google News. We cannot "guarantee" news will appear on all sites mentioned in features and bullet points due to technical issues on part of syndicator, local site policies, etc. Persistence of news via PRN/CISION is entirely outside our control and will vary based on PRN partnerships, site policies, and other factors (many will expire as sites rotate out their content, including Yahoo! Finance).
PUBLIC COMPANIES NOTE: Send2Press plans do not have wide reach to OTC ticker websites as that is not main focus. If you are focused on maximum reach to OTC/ticker sites online, our plans are not a good fit. News does not appear on Yahoo! Finance, but does appear in Yahoo! search. PRN/CISION does not allow any tickers in text, while Send2Press does.
INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION: We do not currently offer international distribution (outside U.S.), other than content syndication partnerships with selected websites in Canada, India/Asia, Middle East, and Germany.
ALL PRICING IS PER RELEASE ISSUED, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION. ALL SERVICES OFFERED SUBJECT TO OUR TERMS OF SERVICE (TOS), ACCEPTABLE CONTENT POLICY (ACP) AND FORMAT REQUIREMENTS. SERVICES ARE PRE-PAID AND ORDERED SECURELY ONLINE.
Business Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST/PDT Mon.-Fri. (closed Sat./Sun.)
We are located in California, USA.

DISCLAIMER: Some sites may only include content as applicable to their audience (e.g., Publishers Newswire only covers books, film, software and music). Some major newspapers and broadcast sites via the AP will "retire" press release content in 30-60 days since they do not originate the content. Some sites may randomly skip story due to technical issues outside our control. The AP syndication, and many other websites will not include the image. 120 sites with images is typical. Persistence of news via PRN/CISION is entirely outside our control and will vary based on PRN partnerships, site policies, and other factors.
