Distributing
your Press Release to the media
Ideally
you should compile your own media list – focusing on the media that your
clients and target clients consume – print, broadcast and online. Buy the relevant newspapers, magazines etc
and see who writes what. Listen to and
watch your key radio and TV programmes – and remember you can do so at a time
that suits you - listen back, download podcasts and watch programmes on the
Player. This, of course, takes time. In the meantime, there are press release
distribution services where you pay for your press releases to be
distributed. Here in Ireland, there’s www.mediacontact.ie and for overseas markets, check out http://www.smallbusinesspr.com/
which is US-based and its sister distribution site - www.prnewswire.com Another service
worth checking out for UK and other overseas markets is http://www.vocus.co.uk/
