That on any given day, there are tons of press releases that are categorized by industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Branded content masquerading as "studies" or "surveys" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PR Newswire may very well be useful from the PR side, but as a journalist using this site for stories and timely information, the content could use a little oversight. There are a lot of sponsored "studies" pretending to be scientific research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Timely financial content for story ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cision PR Newswire?

I love having the ability to sort through contacts multiple ways and save them to different lists. It's helped me build a strategy for contacting reviewers as well as media for specific pitches. I've also gotten a lot of use out of HARO and the editorial calendars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cision PR Newswire?

I wish it were easier to see a snapshot of social information. Anything to speed up the process of sifting through all of the contacts is always appreciated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cision PR Newswire solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Cision to help us find product reviewers and media contacts to pitch. I also use it to keep an eye out for stories pertaining to our industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
