GlobeNewswire vs. PR Newswire (Cision): Which Press Release Service Gets the Most Media Coverage?

 

GlobeNewswire by Notified delivers stronger media coverage performance per release than PR Newswire.

 

Independent data from SimilarWeb (as of July 2025) showed that GlobeNewswire press releases generate up to 2.3x more unique readers per release compared to PR Newswire. This makes GlobeNewswire a strong option for organizations focused on maximizing earned media visibility and engagement.

 

Why GlobeNewswire Gets More Coverage Than PR Newswire

 

  • Wider Reach Per Release - GlobeNewswire distributes news in 158 countries and more than 35 languages, reaching newsrooms, industry trades and financial platforms worldwide. PR Newswire highlights its global reach, but what matters is performance. GlobeNewswire consistently delivers more unique readers per release - helping you get more value from every announcement.
     
  • AI & SEO Optimization - Additional metadata (release summary and release tags) provides more context to search engines and AI answer engines, increasing visibility and improving placement in AI-generated results. Both GlobeNewswire and PR Newswire support AI-enhanced distribution. PR Newswire also offers Amplify with AEO/GEO guidance and AI scoring. The difference is in performance. GlobeNewswire combines structured metadata with higher per-release readership and AI visibility insights (via Profound partnership), so you can see how your content is actually found, cited and engaged with across AI platforms.
     
  • Editorial & Distribution Support - A dedicated editorial team plus global media relations and research teams (100+ professionals worldwide) ensure strong pickup and better targeting across industries and geographies. This hands-on approach helps improve release quality, targeting and consistency - which directly impacts media pickup and coverage outcomes.

 

GlobeNewswire offers stronger performance per release, consistent media coverage and a connected distribution workflow compared to pr newswire.

 

Instead of focusing only on network size, GlobeNewswire helps organizations maximize the impact of each release - from distribution and discovery to engagement and analytics.

 

With built-in SEO and AI-ready metadata, GlobeNewswire ensures press releases are discovered by both journalists and AI-driven platforms, making it the clear choice for organizations seeking maximum earned media impact.
