What is news syndication?
Syndication is the delivery of one publisher’s content to many other sites, applications, or customers. A syndication service accepts the content, tags and normalizes it, and delivers it to each recipient in the format and by the method they asked for.
Where do I sign in or create an account?
Get started and Log in each take you through a short form and then on to PRNow, where accounts, orders, and reports are managed. The forms are checked in your browser. This website does not send or store your details and cannot open historical Acquire Media accounts.
Are the original Acquire Media services available here?
No. Pages about syndication, content licensing, and digital delivery describe how the original services worked, because the ideas are still useful. They are not an availability guarantee. For current press release distribution, continue to PRNow and ask the provider about any specific requirement.
Which delivery method should I choose for a news feed?
Use a guaranteed connection when you cannot miss a story, an API when your application needs to search or request news on demand, FTP when you want files on a schedule, and RSS when you need something working today. The digital delivery page compares them side by side.
Does distributing a press release guarantee coverage?
Distribution places your release on news sites and gives you a report of where it ran. Whether a journalist writes an independent story is their decision. A relevant announcement with evidence and a reachable contact is easier for them to pick up.
Why does tagging matter so much?
Without consistent tags a feed can only be filtered by keyword, which misses stories and lets irrelevant ones through. A taxonomy of subjects, industries, places, and companies lets a recipient ask for exactly the news they need.
