Through Getty Images' powerful API platform, Connect, PR Newswire customers can now access an extensive breadth of Getty Images' imagery to incorporate directly into their press release.

"We encourage our clients to add photos to their press releases because we have done the research that proves they increase the visibility of a message," said Dan Hennes, vice president, Multimedia Distribution, PR Newswire. "We want them to get the most out of their communication campaigns, but also understand that many marketing and professionals don't have the budget or the time to hire a photographer for every occasion and announcement. Through this partnership with Getty Images, our customers can add affordable images to their release with the click of a button."

PR Newswire has integrated a diverse range of stock imagery from Getty Images' collections, including its Thinkstock and iStockphoto libraries, directly into its Online Member Center. This allows members to easily find and add engaging photos to their press release in the upload process.

"PR Newswire's industry-leading distribution platform helps businesses reach an extensive network of media outlets, industry trade publications and Web sites," said Peter Orlowsky, vice president of business development, Getty Images. "We look forward to seeing the ways in which PR Newswire's customers utilize our quality imagery to bring their story to life and help their news release stand out."

News Widget

Our widget allows you to display PR Newswire content on your site with very little back-end programming required. You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site. Still not convinced? Here's what one blogger had to say about the widget.
