It's only news if people know about it
CNW’s expertise in content distribution has made us a trusted and integral part of the Canadian media and market landscapes since 1960. CNW is the first place journalists and investors look for news releases from Canadian organizations, and it is the only company commercially endorsed by the TSX for newswire and financial webcast services.
Best known for our newswire service, CNW provides simultaneous distribution of news releases and multimedia to media and financial markets and feeds websites, social media accounts and blogs. CNW Newswire distribution fulfills Canadian disclosure requirements and maximizes brand exposure, customer engagement and earned media opportunities.
A steady flow of traffic to CNW’s website, newswire.ca, has made it an online news site in its own right. A recent redesign of the site curates trending news and other important releases from the newsfeed and showcases these stories on the home page, allowing users to access relevant information quickly and easily.
CNW became part of the PR Newswire global family in 2013, a positive change that has plugged CNW into an international team that shares our vision and supports our growth. This support has fueled exploration into new directions for the business as a whole, including the creation of new distribution channels that look beyond CNW’s traditional news media audiences to industry-specific online influencers and websites eager to receive quality content from verified sources. Aligned, we strive continuously to address the changing needs of our clients and of their audiences online and around the world.
CNW offers a smart suite of products and services created for Canadian investor relations, public relations and marketing professionals. We can help you create your story, target your audience, align your work team, distribute your content, monitor your impact and measure the results of your communications or marketing campaigns.
At CNW, we are inspired by the role we play in shaping Canadian conversations. We understand how important it is that we get our part right — and we work hard 24/7 to ensure we do.
