Reach media outlets across Canada
The truth about PR Newswire’s Canadian reach is in the numbers. No other newswire can distribute your press release as broadly across Canadian media outlets nor offer more exposure to your news. CNW handles about 70 percent of all news releases issued in Canada, including releases for all major Canadian banks, telecommunications providers and airlines, the entire Canadian auto manufacturing industry and the most significant players in Canada’s oil and gas industry.

• Deliver your press release over the disclosure service endorsed by Canada’s largest stock exchange, TMX Group
• Distribute your news on the same platform that 80 percent of major Canadian media outlets distribute their own corporate media relations news
• Tap into the largest distribution network of any Canadian newswire. CNW is directly connected to all major news media and to the news gathering systems of all bureaus of The Canadian Press

Raise visibility with Canadian media and consumers
Journalists and consumers in Canada depend on CNW’s newswire portal when they are searching for relevant content about companies and industries. CNW’s Web site draws higher daily traffic than any other newswire Web site in Canada and consistently ranks in the top 1,000 sites Canadians visit.

• Post on the portal that is consistently named in research as the most accessed online source of news by business journalists in Canada
• Benefit from naturally high ranking in major search engines on CNW’s www.newswire.ca
• Leverage 50 years of relationship building with the Canadian media and investment community
• Send news directly to journalists expecting your stories via CNW Portfolio e-mail alert service, targeted RSS feeds and Twitter accounts. CNW is the only newswire service to make all of its releases available on Twitter

Customize your distribution with targeted packages
You don't have to fit your PR programs into our ready-made packages. PR Newswire can create customized distributions that meet your unique needs in Canada and beyond. No other newswire offers the flexibility of custom international distributions.

• Decide which regions of Canada you want to reach and in what languages
• Mix Canada distributions with other parts of the world, such as trade media in Latin America plus online media in Europe or any other combination
