Hosted Online News Rooms. Streamlined Media Relations.

Automate media relations functions in a branded online news room that won PRWeek's "PR Innovation of the Year" award. Consumers, investors, media and others are looking for information about your organization online. Communications professionals are charged with making it easy for them to find it. PR Newswire's MediaRoom is the industry's leading online media room solution.

MediaRoom gives your target audiences the information they demand and gives public relations professionals the control they need over content such as electronic press kits, press releases and multimedia assets – all without the need for IT departments or technical knowledge. You can avoid time-consuming needs assessments and long development cycles typically associated with building an online news room because MediaRoom was built with direct input from a media advisory council of top journalists and has been designed for their use from the ground up.
