EIN Presswire has launched a digital press release distribution system that the company says provides broad, yet targeted, distribution at a lower price than traditional newswires. The service employs proprietary distribution channels that combine client press releases with news stories to create geographic, industry and subject-grouped newswires. Releases are further disseminated through EIN Presswire’s social media newsfeeds, syndication partners, the EIN Presswire news apps, and made available to thousands of editors and journalists. The system also lets clients upload their own press releases. “We’re offering a real alternative to public relations professionals—at companies and organizations—who are looking for a more affordable option with better results,” said EIN Presswire chief executive officer and founder David Rothstein.
