About Winston News Wire

The corporate press release distribution platform built for modern communications, IR, and PR teams.

Built by communicators, for communicators

Winston News Wire was founded by a team of former IR, PR, and newsroom operators who were tired of paying for distribution services that felt like they hadn't changed since the fax machine. We set out to build a platform that combined the reach of a legacy newswire with the transparency, speed, and analytics of modern SaaS.

Today, more than 8,000 communications teams — from pre-seed startups to listed Fortune 500s — use Winston to publish, target, and measure corporate press releases. We believe every organization deserves a newsroom-grade distribution channel, whether you're announcing a funding round, filing quarterly results, or introducing a new CEO.

  • 100,000 verified journalists across 170 countries
  • 40,100+ corporate releases distributed to date
  • 8,000+ active communications, IR, and PR teams
  • Flat pricing — no per-word or multimedia surcharges
