PRNewsire launched a re-design of its Website today, featuring an “Optimized News Platform” which organizes releases to appear more as they would on a news website, as opposed to just a wire service. New features include enhanced search, “most read” and “most emailed” story rankings and the ability to sort releases by popular news topics, such “Health Care Reform.” New social features also make it easier to share releases or directly publish them to your blog.

“One of our goals with the redesign of PRNewswire.com was to make it easier for our audiences – media, communications professionals, Investor Relations officers, small business executives and the general public – to enjoy immediate access to tools, expertise and content that helps them meet their objectives,” said Ninan Chacko, president and CEO of PR Newswire in a statement.
