ReleaseWire's Trust Initiative

Press Releases You Can Trust

On December 17, 2012, ReleaseWire announced the ReleaseWire Trust Initiative (Blog Post | Press Release). This new program offers journalists, bloggers and other readers with greater confidence in new release sources and authorization.

As part of its new “Trust Initiative,” ReleaseWire is implementing additional technology and human verification processes that help its editorial team better identify non-authoritative press releases.

Once these news tools and processes are in place, ReleaseWire will provide journalists, bloggers and other readers with a visual “trust level” representation for each press release it distributes.

ReleaseWire plans to implement the first set of Trust Initiative tools and processes over the next 30 days. A time line of our launch plans can be viewed below. We encourage you to bookmark this page to check for future updates.

ReleaseWire will launch a new visual indicator on press releases, company profiles and user profiles, indicating the level of trust ReleaseWire has in the submitters' authority over the content.

A message from Daniel Jones, President of ReleaseWire: I spent a good portion of my career as a journalist, so I understand how important it is that our news comes from reliable, trustworthy sources. Now, as head of ReleaseWire, I am fully aware that press release distribution services like ours must play a role in maintaining news quality. This is why we are launching our new Trust Initiative.
