In this blog we will discuss the role of reach.
Every day, Business Wire works with communicators across the globe to maximize the reach of their news. Our goal is to put their organizational news and content into the hands of their niche and broad audiences. In the second part of our ongoing series on why small and large public and private companies and non-profits use newswires to distribute news release and multimedia content, we will look at the role newswires have in increasing the reach of corporate information.
Reach is the most important factor in the success of any news or content piece. The farther the piece travels, across any channel, the more activity it can generate. Put a news release in one place, and only a specific audience sees it. Put a news release in thousands of spaces, and you drastically increase the impact of your headline and the possibility for coverage and action. Commercial newswires provide a massive amount of reach for a single content piece.
Business Wire’s distribution was built to maximize the reach of your news release to your targeted and broad audiences.

Pushed to media and investors, and search friendly on the web, virtually anyone can easily find a news release distributed by Business Wire and act on it, from reporter to consumer, from investor to blogger.
It is important to note that news access is not the only benefit of Business Wire’s reach. News releases are distributed in full text, ensuring full disclosure of all the information an issuer wishes to convey. When it comes to media relations, organizational stories are often reinterpreted. By using a trusted newswire with strong reach, your news, and your message, in its entirety, is always easy to find and act upon.
When it comes to telling your story, reach is a required element. Our commitment to reach is a core reason why companies use Business Wire.
