PressRelease.com gives you something most PR services don’t: the ability to choose exactly where your story appears. With more than a dozen outlets available, each reaching a different audience, the right choice depends entirely on what you’re trying to accomplish. This guide makes that decision easy.
The answer starts with your goal. Different outlets reach different audiences. A release designed to attract investors needs to land somewhere investors actually read. A release meant to build broad consumer awareness needs outlets with massive reach. This guide maps your goal to the outlets that serve it best.

Match Your Goal to the Right Outlet
Goal: Build Investor or Financial Credibility
Outlets: Yahoo Finance NA, MarketWatch, Morningstar, Benzinga, Reuters
When investors, lenders, and analysts research a company, they’re scanning the sources they already trust. Yahoo Finance and MarketWatch together reach over 100 million monthly visitors in the investment community. Morningstar adds credibility with analysts and institutional investors. Benzinga reaches active traders who move fast. Reuters carries institutional weight internationally.
If you’re announcing a funding round, a strategic partnership, or any news with financial relevance, these are the outlets where that story belongs.
Goal: Reach Business Decision-Makers
Outlets: Business Insider, Yahoo Finance NA
Not every press release needs to reach everyone. If your story is aimed at executives, operators, and growth-focused professionals — the people who make purchasing, partnership, and hiring decisions — you need outlets that speak their language.
Business Insider reaches 100 million global visitors monthly with a heavy concentration of executives and entrepreneurs. Combine it with Yahoo Finance to cover both the operator audience and the investor audience in a single distribution.
Goal: Maximum Consumer Reach and Brand Awareness
Outlets: Major Network News, USA Today, Apple News
If your announcement is consumer-facing and you want the broadest possible reach, this combination delivers across broadcast, print, and mobile in a single distribution.
Major Network News syndicates across FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and more — with over 300 million global impressions. USA Today adds print credibility and one of the strongest domain authorities in American journalism. Apple News puts your story directly in the hands of 135 million active iPhone users.
Goal: Build SEO and Long-Term Online Visibility
Outlets: Associated Press, Big News Network, USA Today
Not all visibility is immediate. A well-distributed press release can keep generating search traffic and backlinks for months after it runs — and outlet selection is what makes that possible.
The Associated Press has one of the highest domain authority scores available in press release distribution. Every pickup creates a high-authority backlink pointing to your brand. Big News Network is specifically built for SEO reach and international indexing. Together, they create a digital footprint that search engines and AI tools recognize and reward over time.
Goal: Generate Global or International Exposure
Outlets: Reuters, Associated Press, Big News Network
If your story needs to reach international audiences — whether for market expansion, institutional credibility, or cross-border partnerships — wire service reach is what gets you there.
Reuters and the Associated Press are the two most authoritative international wire services in the world. Reuters delivers institutional credibility across 2,500+ syndication sites globally. AP delivers syndication breadth and the SEO authority of one of the web’s most trusted domains. Big News Network adds international indexing and global discovery.
Goal: Reach a Mobile and Social Audience
Outlets: Apple News, Digital Journal
Most news is consumed on a phone. If your story is consumer-facing and has the kind of energy that gets people sharing, these two outlets are built for exactly that.
Apple News delivers your story directly into the native news app on every iPhone — 135 million active users. Digital Journal has a digitally engaged audience that actively shares content. Together they create immediate mobile scale and sustained amplification.

Can I Choose More Than One?
Yes — and for most announcements, you should. Different outlets reach different audiences, and your story rarely belongs to just one. A funding announcement, for example, might warrant Yahoo Finance for the investment community, Business Insider for the executive audience, and the Associated Press for broad credibility and SEO.
Choosing multiple outlets doesn’t mean your release runs multiple times — it means it reaches multiple distinct audiences in a single distribution. That’s where the real value compounds.
Not sure where to start?
If you’re publishing your first release, start with the outlet that most closely matches your primary audience. You can always add outlets on your next release as you learn what works for your brand.
