BEFORE DISTRIBUTION

Establish credibility before distribution

A clear, identifiable source makes your announcement easier for journalists and audiences to assess, reference and share. Media.com gives your release a permanent reference point before distribution begins.

WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL SOURCE

  • Unclear point of origin
  • No single reference URL
  • Versions can diverge
  • Context can get lost

Harder to verify. Harder to reference. Easier to overlook.

INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE

News needs a trusted point of origin.

Larry Weber, communications industry pioneer and founder of Weber Shandwick, discusses why identifiable sources matter as news moves across media, search, social and AI.

Media.com puts that principle into practice by giving organizations a permanent source for what they publish.

Frequently asked questions

Why publish on Media.com before distributing a press release?

To establish the official source before the announcement starts circulating. Your release is published from a verified organization at a permanent Media.com URL, giving journalists, audiences and distribution channels one place to reference.

What is included with my first Press Release?

US$295 includes your first Press Release, Media.com Newsroom, Organization and representative verification, permanent Media.com URL, media contact, version history and multimedia support. Additional releases from the same organization are US$295 each.

How long does verification and publication take?

It depends on the organization rather than on the release. Verification involves confirming the organization and confirming that you are authorised to publish for it, so timing turns on how quickly those checks can be completed - how readily the organization can be matched to an official record, whether the representative can complete identity verification straight away, and whether anything needs to be clarified. Once the organization is verified, publication is immediate and you control when the release goes live. Later releases from an established organization do not repeat verification.

Is Media.com a newswire?

No. Media.com establishes the official source of your release. You can then distribute that source through email, social media, journalists, newswires and other channels you choose.

Does Media.com syndicate releases to third-party publications?

No. Media.com does not currently syndicate releases to third-party news sites or journalist networks. It provides the permanent, verified source you can use across your own distribution.

Can I still use PR Newswire, Business Wire or another distribution service?

Yes. Publish the official release on Media.com first, then use your preferred distribution service and reference the Media.com source.

Will my release appear in search engines or AI services?

Media.com release pages are public and crawlable, making them available for discovery by search engines and AI systems. Indexing, ranking and citation are determined independently by those services.

Does Media.com verify the contents of a release?

No. Media.com verifies the publisher’s identity and authority to represent the organization. It does not independently fact-check or endorse the claims in the release.
