Why use Newswise?
Sending releases to journalists via Newswise email wires is a simple way to ensure your news is delivered into the right hands — journalists who want to know about your research or national caliber news.

Newswise offers a unique, direct, efficient, and affordable delivery system to journalists. It contrasts with passive websites; data circuit wires, which are sent to central computers; costly database services offering unsolicited email options; hit-or-miss faxing; or slow, expensive postal mailing.
