We are placed to announce the latest update to the SBWire service has been placed online today. Along with many small improvements we made the following changes:

We have made it easy for journalist and bloggers to subscribe to news alerts based on specific industries and sub-industries. With this new system journalist and bloggers can create new news alerts or add industries to existing news alerts all from the industry page in the SBWire News Room.

We corrected an issue with journalist news alerts where newly created news alerts did not work with the medium content grade requirements option.

SBWire will now alert users if they have submitted a press release and it has been left in “DRAFT” state for more than two days. You will see this notice on the main account management page as well as the press release management page. Please note that in order to complete a press release submission you must click on the green “Publish” button. If you do not do so, the press release remains in draft mode and is not processed by our editorial team.

If you have any questions about these updates or SBWire in general please let us know.
