Content syndication and distribution expert, Acquire Media, announces the launch of its own white-label newswire service aptly named Newscast. Benefiting from the extensive reach of Acquire Media’s existing news distribution ecosystem, the newscast.com domain will enable breaking-news and immediate-release content-producing companies to create their own branded newswires for inclusion in the Acquire Media content collection as well as delivery to end points outside of the Acquire Media network, including social media. This modular, API-based approach is the first commercial instantiation of "Wire-as-a-Service" (WaaS) available anywhere.
For over 25 years, Acquire Media has been working with organizations that produce news and associated multimedia to help organize, enhance, and deliver their content with speed and accuracy. “Over time we have identified the need for "private wires" for those firms who may not have the expertise or resources to take their proprietary content to market,” states Acquire Media CEO Bradley J. Scher. “We are excited to offer Newscast to fill that need for smaller or niche, specialty content providers looking to leverage our network and reach new audiences. This is a ground-breaking Wire as a Service (WaaS) model.”
Newscast successfully combines many of the core capabilities of Acquire Media. This includes the content normalization, multiple simultaneous format creation, tagging enhancement, and delivery monitoring services utilized in Acquire Media’s real-time operations today. Additionally Newscast leverages Acquire Media's simultaneous disclosure distribution technology, covered by eight issued U.S. patents, making it regulatory compliant for content such as corporate announcements and events. These combined with the Acquire Media’s community of shared distribution points make Newscast an ideal solution for those offering breaking news or press releases that require both infrastructure and reach.
