Piaras Kelly PR - Public Relations in Ireland

Press Release Irelandoffers free online press release services to Irish companies, organisations and Govt. bodies.”

I haven’t used it yet, but will try it out shortly. The website claims that it is easy to add press releases via their content management system.

Obviously it is aimed at delivering content to journalists who can subscribe to email alerts for new content relevant to them. The email subscription system is what I’d be most critical about. A lot of journalists will already be on mailing lists and their inboxes are already full of clutter. Surely this system will result in them receiving double the amount of releases? I would actually sign up to subscribe to content for certain sectors if they had an RSS subscription method, but there’s no sign of that. I’ve emailled the company behind the website in the meantime about it.

Here’s a quick rundown about features of the site:
- easy registration
- facility for user to upload press releases
- automatic pdf creation
- image upload facility
- categorisation of press releases
- archives of press releases
- easily manage / edit press releases
- set-up alerts for press releases
