"Mary

Are press releases going onto any of the semi-junk freebie pseudo-
wires?
There's several of these turn up in Google News results.
How are the current recipients of issued press releases managed? Is
there a distribution list? How would, say, a blogger go about
subscribing to WMUK news?
At the moment, we just email the press releases to those that we've
been in contact with (i.e. they've previously gotten in touch with us
to talk to us about a Wikipedia story). We don't have a wider
distribution list yet, aside from the blog.
Is it worth moving to having a press-releases mailing list that
people can subscribe to, in addition to sending them out to
appropriate specific journalists?
If anyone has any suggestions of contacts/organizations to send press
releases to, please let me know offlist.
Thanks,
Mike
