News Releases and Newsrooms 

According to The New Rules of Marketing & PR, the web has fundamentally changed marketing. Before the internet, news releases were targeted specifically to a handful of journalists. But today with the internet at millions of people's disposal, news releases are being accessed by a mass variety of people. That means that companies need to use these news releases to reach their buyers directly. And it's a pretty rare opportunity because the media has no influence nor ability to filter the information.

Not only does the web affect news releases, but also newsrooms. Newsrooms are part of a company's website where they put information for the media.

Use words, links, and information that targets BUYERS not just the media.
