Company
NewsGallery Pty Ltd (the Company) was founded in 2004 to develop an innovative online press release publishing and distribution platform that would use the power of search and news aggregation to help members reach a broader market. The Company won a Yellow Pages Business Ideas Grant (South Australia) in 2004 and in the same year was awarded a Commercialising Emerging Technology (COMET) Grant by the Australian Government.
