Simon - right on as well ... the newswires claim effectiveness, but I think their biggest value is injecting it into the search engines super fast - things like Google / Yahoo news etc. Though blogs are quickly being able to take that advantage away as well. A good targeted email list really can't be beat - except by individually pitching each reporter individually :) That’s a great tip Danny, I hadn’t really considered company newsletters or email subscriptions - I’ll add RSS feed from the company website as well, though ideally your site is setup to do that automatically anyhow.

I also use my company newsletter - I have a section in there for archived/latest press releases. I also offer email subscription to my press releases so that whenever I publish one it's immediately sent out to interested parties.
