Benefits of Membership

PR Newswire, the premier global provider of services that enable marketers, corporate communicators, investor relations officers and others to engage with their key audiences, is a membership organization. Prior to taking advantage of any of our world-class services, a customer must be a paid member in good standing.

Membership is not optional, and except for customers with a new or existing LTD (2 year or more deal with PRN), membership costs $195 per year (if customer pays by credit card and goes to "Credit Card Always/CCA" billing upon signup) or $249 per year (if invoiced).

With paid PR Newswire membership comes the following benefits and privileges:

• Ability to distribute news via the newswire network with the greatest reach and most comprehensive reporting in the industry (non-members may only distribute via our online-only iReach network)
• Pre-registration, verification, and setup for news release distribution. (Whether you decide to issue your first press release the day after you sign up as a member, or months later, we’ll be ready to start processing your order at a moment’s notice. Our setup and validation process – over 100 steps – helps to ensure the security of our newswire network, to the benefit of both our customers and the audience who receive our feed)
• Quarterly re-authentication of all of your organization’s "authorized senders" (for enhanced security and to help ensure that only authorized communications can be sent from your PR Newswire account. Every 60 days, an email is sent to each authorized sender on the account, showing the full list of authorized senders for that account).
