Trusted news
sources BNO News and Marketwire today announced a
partnership that allows both companies to extend their media exposure and
gain additional news distribution channels.
BNO News, which provides content to mainly local media in the United States
through its news wire service, recently added a new service to its news
wire platform that allows its clients to take advantage of Marketwire
content, giving them the option to integrate official news releases into
the BNO News wire service. This includes real-time notifications of trusted
news content via personalized e-mail streams, RSS feeds, NewsML feeds or
through its wire platform at http://wire.bnonews.com .
“For journalists, press releases and other official statements are
extremely important in order for them to do their work,” said Michael van
Poppel, President of BNO News. “Marketwire is a leading communications
service that distributes content on behalf of major companies and
government organizations. We are confident that journalists who work for
our clients will find the addition of this new service to the BNO News wire
service extremely helpful.”
The Marketwire content will be available to journalists of BNO News clients
free of charge, and will give Marketwire an opportunity to reach more media
professionals across more companies.
“We have watched BNO News rise from managing one of the most popular news
accounts on Twitter to its acquisition by MSNBC on December 1, 2009 — at
that time, boasting nearly 1.5 million users,” said Jessica Strange,
executive director, media relations, Marketwire. “We are proud to be part
of its evolution as a major news-gathering operation comprised of the most
trusted news sources, and we look forward to a highly successful
relationship.”
Additional details about the BNO News wire service are available to media
organizations and publishers upon request. Financial details of the
partnership will not be released.
