About Tom
Hello there.
I'm Tom. I'm PR Newswire's Manager of Blogger Relations. My job, my goal is to connect bloggers with PR Newswire's content, services and offerings. Whether it's a dedicated newsfeed, access to experts, information on upcoming events, or other benefits, I'm here to help bloggers. If there's anything I can do to help your blog thrive and grow, I want to hear about it. I'll be updating this blog daily with what I hope is interesting and helpful content. There'll also be a listing of upcoming events and unique offerings tailored just for bloggers. So, lots of stuff.
You might be saying to yourself, that's all well and good, but who are you, Tom? Well, like I said, I'm the Manager of Blogger Relations here at PR Newswire. I've been working this role since the spring of 2010. For the five years prior to that, I worked in PRN's editorial department in both Washington, DC and San Francisco. I currently live in New York City and ride my bike to work every day from my apartment in Chinatown. My interests include social media, New York sports teams, quality television, talking to strangers' dogs, politics, ice cream sundaes and yoga.
And now here you might be saying to yourself, that's great. But why should I listen to you about blogging? Well, for the last couple of years (seven or so) I've been blogging on just about everything from politics and literature to biking and movies. Lately, I've been blogging about blogs. That's kind of meta, right? But the truth is there are a LOT of great blogs out there. And I want people to know about them. So I try to write about one of these great blogs every day. You'll find those reviews here under the Blog Posts section. But more importantly, helping bloggers is literally what I do for a living. Why not have a look inside and see if I can help?
Yours,

Blogger Services
Customized Newsfeeds
Don't let the name PR Newswire for Journalists dissuade you. This is a great service for bloggers. Any content creator -- whether you're a journalist, freelancer or blogger -- can set up a customized profile to receive releases based on preferences. You also have access to hi-res photos, media-only content such as media advisories and embargoed releases, and experts via ProfNet.
ProfNet
ProfNet helps customers gain exposure for their organization by promoting spokespeople and experts on a network that connects tens of thousands of news organizations with expert sources. ProfNet members get the inside scoop on reporter queries and media leads, and build relationships with the journalists who cover their industry. ProfNet customers can respond directly to reporters looking for expert sources, pitch experts and story ideas directly to the media, and create searchable expert profiles so media can contact them directly
ProfNet Connect
ProfNet Connect is a free, interactive online community where PR professionals, experts, and media professionals can network and engage with one another. Via profiles, forums and blogs, subject-matter experts can position themselves as the go-to source for reporters. In turn, reporters can search the site by keyword to find the experts they need. The site also features enhanced profile capabilities, allowing users to easily add multimedia components -- photos, videos, white papers and more -- to their profiles. And because profiles are indexed by all major search engines, users can increase their visibility and media interaction even further.
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 2 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% control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your website.... Here it is in action on my bike blog.
