About Collegiate Presswire
Collegiate Presswire offers comprehensive distribution of your press releases, media alerts and pre-produced content to a nationwide network of print and broadcast college media outlets -- as well as student-oriented publications, websites and the largest information repositories in the world. Founded in 1998, Collegiate Presswire pioneered the business of electronic press material distribution to the college media, sending press releases and ready-to-run content via e-mail and the Internet to college newspapers across the country. A year later, they expanded our services to include the only electronic collegiate media-monitoring system and an original Features Syndicate, which offers a free cartoon, two word puzzles, a dating column and production-ready content to student media outlets in return for a brand-credit placement in each feature. In 2002, at the request of numerous clients, they debuted CP RadioWire, the first electronic wire distribution service transmitting text and multimedia press materials on a daily basis to the nation's top college and university radio stations. In 2003, they entered into several strategic content-sharing partnerships. Through an alliance with College Publisher, all of Collegiate Presswire’s press releases are posted in full-text to their network of online college newspapers for use in online editions. Through an agreement with LexisNexis, all of their wire copy is also posted in full-text to their eponymous news and information database. And finally, through broadened syndication agreements with COMTEX News Network, Moreover and Pinnacor, summaries of their headlines are cross-posted each day to both Yahoo! News and Google News -- two premier news websites on the Internet. Collegiate Presswire continues to evolve and introduce new services that meet the needs of today’s student journalists and broadcasters. With more than 840 college and university newspapers and 250 college radio stations on their daily distribution circuits, and many more checking out their Web site each day, Collegiate Presswire has become a vital content source for America’s print and broadcast collegiate media. Their clients range from Fortune 500 firms to small, entrepreneurial start-ups - and everything in between that have recognized the power and influence of the student media. A wide range of companies have put Collegiate Presswire to work for their publicity and outreach campaigns, branding opportunities and media-monitoring programs. Collegiate Presswire has received a great deal of media attention, including numerous write-ups in PR Week, O’Dwyer’s PR Newsletter, Ragan’s Interactive PR and Tactics -- the newsletter of the Public Relations Society of America. On the media side, Collegiate Presswire has been featured several times in Trends, the newsletter of the Associated Collegiate Press.
