PR Newswire

PR Newswire

PR Newswire, based in Chicago, is a well-known press release distribution service. It was established in 1954 to help businesses send their press releases electronically to news outlets, initially using teleprinters. The service was founded by Herbert Muschel, who managed it from his home in Manhattan for about 15 years. Over time, the company changed hands, first being sold to Western Union and then to United Newspapers of London. In December 2015, Cision Inc. announced its plans to acquire PR Newswire. By January 1, 2021, Cision officially merged PR Newswire into its operations, concluding its 66-year run as an independent entity. However, Cision intends to keep using the PR Newswire brand in the U.S., Europe, and the Asia-Pacific regions for the foreseeable future.
