The news releases will be available via the Motor Press Guild web site, http://www.motorpressguild.org/newswire/, once they are distributed through PR Newswire. Guild members will be able to access news releases from specific automotive companies or on relevant industry topics, based on the time the announcement was issued.
"The Motor Press Guild provides an ideal audience for PR Newswire's content as its members, many of whom are journalists and communications professionals, require up-to-the-minute information on relevant industry events in order to succeed in their profession," commented Dave Armon, Chief Operating Officer of PR Newswire. "The relationship with the Motor Press Guild will serve as an excellent extension of our distribution network."
