Boston, MA -- August 23, 2021 - Reportable, Inc., launched the first dedicated lede and link news release and wire service. Lede and link distribution brings audiences to your news rather than send the entirety of your announcement to the digital abyss. Lede and link distributes a summary announcement — headline, first paragraph, key takeaways and featured image — to a network of online news outlets. Embedded links in the announcement bring audiences to an online multimedia, interactive news release that packages what reporters, investors and consumers are looking for in one place.
Advantages of the lede and link distribution model, compared to the traditional wire, include:
- Control of the experience: use of words, images, videos, bios, and downloadable resources to tell your story
- Audience tracking: By owning the page it’s hosted on, you get insight into audience demographics and where they’re discovering your news
- Social media optimization: Your Reportable release is displayed in more social media news feeds
Reportable posts a summary of your multimedia news release to a network of online news outlets that is ideally suited for private companies, or, with the click of a box, offers you the option to send your announcement to an enhanced distribution network, which includes financial databases and other outlets such as Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, Marketwatch, Morning Star, Thomson Reuters, Capital IQ, and Lexis Nexus.
In addition to online distribution, Reportable’s software allows email distribution to a reporter target list with an integrated media database and/or uploading your own list of targets. Each announcement comes with a branded URL, optimized for social media to include a clickable image that brings readers to your online news release.
"The major wire services perpetuate a myth that your release should be distributed in full," said Tom Baker, CEO & Cofounder of Reportable. "This limits insight into who's reading your announcement and the ability to package what reporters, investors and other audiences want and need. By contrast, Reportable lets you take advantage of visuals to tell your story and make use of web traffic data by integrating Reportable with your web analytics tools."
Reportable makes multimedia news releases standard in all announcements. Graphics, charts, photos, and videos make a news announcement easier to understand and more memorable for reporters, investors, employees, and consumers.
To manage your news releases and related media coverage, Reportable offers online newsrooms. This can be easily integrated into your website to give journalists, customers, and investors a dedicated page with announcements, news coverage, events, fact sheets, images, videos and more.
