NEW YORK, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
New, Interactive PRNewswire.com Streamlines User Experience
PR Newswire, the global leader in innovative communications and marketing services, has launched a new,
interactive Web site that helps visitors navigate quickly to the products, services, knowledge resources, press
releases, photos and videos for which they are searching.

The new PRNewswire.com features three main points of interaction - Products & Services, Knowledge Center
and Browse News Releases - to provide visitors a 360-degree view of PR Newswire's global communications
platform, industry expertise, and up-to-the-minute breaking news. The top of every page features a 'quick links'
panel, offering one-click access to press release distribution, PR and IR communications services, other PR
Newswire Web sites, membership applications, and site search.
"One of our goals with the redesign of PRNewswire.com was to make it easier for our audiences - media,
communications professionals, Investor Relations officers, small business executives and the general public - to
enjoy immediate access to tools, expertise and content that helps them meet their objectives," said Ninan Chacko,
CEO of PR Newswire. "At the same time, we also wanted to ensure that content on our Web site - from press
releases to expert articles to videos - is highly visible in search engines and easy to share through social media
tools."
The Products & Services section of the new site offers a gateway to PR Newswire's full suite of communications
tools for designing, executing and measuring communications programs. Tabs including Distribution, Targeting,
Monitoring & Measurement, Web Site Engagement, Multimedia & Broadcast PR, Marketing, Investor Relations and
Trade Show let visitors identify the services that match their immediate communications needs and learn about
new opportunities to extend messaging through emerging technologies and media platforms. The new site makes it
even easier for communications professionals to build custom packages of services based on their unique needs.
PR Newswire's new Knowledge Center offers visitors access to a vast repository of insights and expertise,
including white papers, webinars and bylined articles from PR Newswire's team of industry and social media
experts. Visitors can comment on Knowledge Center articles and interact directly with peers and PR Newswire's
experts to discuss the latest innovations and industry trends, learn more about PR Newswire products, and
make new connections. With over 55 years as the leading global communications services provider, PR Newswire
is on the forefront of the trends and issues shaping public relations, investor relations, marketing and news
distribution.
Finally, visitors can use the Browse News Releases tab to view and search press releases, photos and video
galleries on PRNewswire.com, then share the content through social media bookmarking and blogging tools such
as digg, del.icio.us, Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, LinkedIn, and Google.
"The new PRNewswire.com gives communications professionals quick and easy access to information on PR
Newswire's tools and educational resources to help them do their jobs smarter, faster and more efficiently, through
a
friendlier user-interface," Chacko said. "From advice on the latest trends in marketing communications to search
engine optimized press releases and from multimedia marketing platforms to social media tools that help drive
more visibility for messages, the new PRNewswire.com was designed with communications professionals in mind."
