Does anyone know anything about US Newswire? |
|
And yes I tried Google. But most of what comes up is from the company itself. Is it a reliable, unbiased source? Is it in the same category as AP and Reuters or is it something else?

1. It is apparently a news release service, like Yahoo. |

I have often seen releases from them from Democratic organizations. I don't know much more about them.

2. Yes, it is a press release service, not a news service |

Think of it as a mass-mailing company. You pay the fee, they'll send out your press release.
AP and Reuters -- in theory, at least! -- are news publishers doing journalism.
Now, whether there is a clear distinction any more between press release services and news publishers... well, that's another topic entirely!
