We provide free Online PR Newsrooms which you can customise and share on Twitter or in a blog or website using the builtin RSS feed.

Unlike many other press release services, we charge a flat fee. There are no hidden charges to include images, documents or reporting. 

Google has accredited NewsMaker as an official press release service, however Google changes its algorithm regulalry and we cannot guarantee that your press release will meet Google criteria -- typically your press release will appear in Search within minutes.
