(Original )Information
What do you like best about Cision PR Newswire?

Cision is constantly updating media contacts nationally. This saves a ton of time & gives you the piece of mind of knowing that when you send out a release, that it is going to the right people & that emails won't bounce back. It makes curating national media lists easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cision PR Newswire?

The social media posting aspects need some work. You have to use an image URL & fill out an Excel spreadsheet if you want to schedule posts in bulk. The social media reporting still needs work as well. Cision only records stats on the posts that are scheduled through Cision. Overall, if you work with social media often you will need to purchase another platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Very helpful for national clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
