Comments on: How Many Press Releases Are Sent Out Each Day? http://blog.journalistics.com/2009/how-many-press-releases-are-sent-out-each-day/ A Blog About Public Relations, Journalism and Social Media Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:25:58 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Eric Stevenson http://blog.journalistics.com/2009/how-many-press-releases-are-sent-out-each-day/comment-page-1/#comment-37 Eric Stevenson Sat, 04 Apr 2009 15:09:10 +0000 http://blog.journalistics.com/?p=118#comment-37 Having dug into this same issue in the past, I can tell you that there is no research on newswires (third-party) correlating the volume of press releases sent. There is no data on gross sales, as an industry sector, either. When considering the 'newswire' group, information service providers like vocus.com and cision.com are encroaching on their market. The Internet itself is to blame; is the monopoly is over? That said, PR agencies, which fuel the bulk of press release distributions, also use these IS providers and social 'chatter' to build topic/brand activities. If you want, contact me and include your daytime phone to find out more.
