Comprehensive Press Release Distribution Hits All Forms of Media

By Amy Trainor

For comprehensive press release distribution, begin with an extensive media list, but be aware it may take time to compile. When you need to quickly hit the presses with your story, it's best to work with a company that already has those contacts so you can hit the ground running.

Usually, it will be the local and smaller media outlets that will be most attracted to your story. Small outlets often make the most sense to target as many of their human interest stories are directly inspired by press releases.

Plus, the larger networks often scan the smaller outlets for stories they can run. If you nab the interests of the smaller branches, the story may ricochet up the ranks into larger networks. Stories are shared by websites and newspapers. Good press release distribution starts with the smaller branches so the story can get passed up the ranks.

Yet you don't want to send the press release to just anyone, or you may be accused of spamming. That's a list you certainly don't want to be on. Get known as a spammer, and you can easily get blacklisted in the media industry and they'll never listen to your story again.

Make certain that you have specific contact information easily identified in your press release. Once you've hooked their attention, make it easy to contact you. Don't make the reporter's job difficult or they'll just find another story that more conveniently makes their deadline.

The modern world features many media outlets, so contact different kinds across the board. Submit your press release to newspapers as well as trade journals and magazines, websites, radio and television shows.

Don't forget the blogging community. Bloggers can often get your story connect to other media by starting an Internet sensation.

Connect with a variety of different media types with press release distribution that's comprehensive and gets the story told in every outlet, whether it be print, the Internet or broadcast.
