About Patriot Newswire
An American wire, built for American media. Who we are, what we believe
a placement is worth, and how the network is put together.
THE COMPANY
Patriot Newswire distributes press releases to United States outlets, and only United States outlets.
The press release industry has an honesty problem with numbers. A headline figure of "thousands of outlets" usually resolves, on inspection, to a syndication feed counted many times over, a tier of parked domains, and a long tail of overseas sites that no American customer, reporter or investor will ever open.
We built Patriot Newswire on the opposite premise. The network is American, the placements are real published pages, and the report you receive is a list of links you can click. If a placement does not resolve, it does not appear on the report. That constraint is the product.
Four services cover the ground: national distribution for announcements that need the whole country, local distribution by state or city for stories that only matter in one market, done-for-you writing when the release needs an editor, and a financial wire for issuers and investor relations teams.
A placement is a page a real American newsroom published, at a URL that still works when you open the report.
OUR MISSION
- Put American news in front of American readers.
- Report every placement as a live, clickable link.
- Price distribution by footprint, not by bundled tier.
- Let a single-city story buy a single-city footprint.
- Read every release before it goes out.
- Say no to claims that will get a release rejected.
- Keep turnaround measured in hours, not weeks.
- Never count a redirect as an outlet.
OUR VISION
- A wire whose reach number needs no asterisk.
- Local newsrooms in all 50 states, plus DC.
- Small American businesses on the same wire as issuers.
- Financial distribution an IR team can defend to a board.
- Reporting clear enough to forward without editing.
- Editorial standards that raise acceptance rates.
- A platform that needs no account manager to operate.
- American media strengthened, not flooded.

HOW WE WORK
Editors first, dashboard second.
The platform handles submission, targeting and reporting, which is the part software is good at. Everything that requires judgement — whether a claim will survive an affiliate desk, whether a headline reads like news or like an advert, whether a ticker reference needs a disclosure — is done by a person before distribution, not flagged after.
That is also why turnaround is quoted from editorial approval rather than from upload. The queue is real work, and we would rather be accurate about it.
THE TEAM BEHIND YOUR RELEASE
Four desks touch every distribution.
Editorial Desk
United States editors who write DFY releases and review every submission before it is distributed.
Distribution Desk
Runs the national, local and financial wires and manages the outlet relationships behind them.
Compliance & Review
Checks claims, disclosures and ticker references against the standards American newsroom desks apply.
Client Success
Owns onboarding, placement reporting and anything that needs a person rather than a dashboard.
Because reach that lands outside your market is not reach, it is a bigger number on a report. Restricting the network to American outlets means every placement we count is one a U.S. customer, investor or reporter could plausibly read.
A wire. We distribute, we do not pitch. DFY Distribution adds writing to that, but we do not sell retainers, media training or ongoing PR representation.
Every outlet the release reached, the published headline, a direct link, and the date it went live. Nothing is counted that does not resolve to a live page.
