Xpress Press News Service
Xpress Press was founded in 1996 as the first online "wire" to offer press release writing and distribution services services to emerging internet companies. At that time, press releases were sent using opt-in email to journalists. As technology changed the way journalists and consumers handle news, Xpress Press partnered with PR Newswire to offer Tier-1 newswire distribution so that client's stories could also travel via the Associated Press newswire and appear in Google, Yahoo! News, and other news aggregators on the internet. Today, Xpress Press provides RSS feeds to content aggregators, bloggers and news organizations and provides an online dashboard where journalists can subscribe to press release feeds based on their beat or assignment. Xpress Press continues to offer email-based press release distribution, stand alone publicity services, as well as newswire services through PR Newswire. In 2010, Xpress Press expanded its services to include multimedia, web visibility and social media awareness solutions that help its clients gain traction in an ever-changing media landscape. The company also debuted XpressEDIT (www.xpressedit.com), providing writing and editorial services for individuals and businesses.
