Definition

What is a GlobeNewswire press release?

Short answer: A GlobeNewswire press release is an official company announcement published and distributed by the GlobeNewswire newswire to media, financial portals, databases and investors, carrying a GlobeNewswire label that tells readers it came from the company through a recognised financial wire.

Public companies use GlobeNewswire press releases for results, guidance, acquisitions and board changes. Private companies use them for funding rounds, launches and partnerships, because the wire label gives their news the same investor-ready format.

A GlobeNewswire press release is not an article written by a journalist. It is your own news, in your own words, distributed at scale. Journalists and editors may pick it up, but the core value is that your announcement is published quickly, accurately and in places investors already check.

The process

How does GlobeNewswire press release distribution work?

Short answer: You write the release, GlobeNewswire checks it, then sends it across the distribution circuit you choose, from a single region to global, financial or industry lists. Partner sites and finance portals publish it, and you receive reporting on where it appeared.
  1. Account and verificationA new sender applies online, confirms by email and passes a verification check. GlobeNewswire says onboarding verification typically takes up to 4 business hours.
  2. Writing and formattingThe release is prepared in newswire format: headline, dateline, lead paragraph, quotes, boilerplate and contact. Images, logos and multimedia can be added.
  3. Editorial and compliance reviewDepending on the distribution option, GlobeNewswire’s editorial team reviews releases before publication, around the clock for eligible distributions.
  4. Distribution across circuitsThe release goes out on the selected circuit: by geography, industry, media type or language. GlobeNewswire reports more than 1,000 circuits across 158 countries.
  5. Publication and reportingPartner sites, finance portals and databases publish the release. Senders receive analytics on pickups and visibility, which GlobeNewswire says now include AI citation tracking.
How GlobeNewswire press release distribution works step by step
Who it is for

Who uses GlobeNewswire press release distribution?

Short answer: Listed companies, companies preparing to list, venture-backed scale-ups, fintech and financial services firms, funds and associations. GlobeNewswire itself says it is not only for public companies.

Cost

GlobeNewswire pricing: what decides the cost of a GlobeNewswire press release?

Short answer: GlobeNewswire does not publish a public rate card. Registration is free and each distribution is quoted, so the cost of a GlobeNewswire press release depends mainly on where it goes, how long it is, what media it carries and whether it needs regulatory or translation support.

If you are comparing quotes, these are the factors that move the number. Knowing them helps you avoid paying for reach you do not need.

Distribution area

A single region, a national circuit or global distribution. Wider circuits cost more.

Word count

Longer releases can cost more on some circuits, so tight writing pays off.

Images, logos and video

Multimedia makes a release stronger but is often priced separately.

Languages and translation

Each additional language or translated version adds to the quote.

Financial and regulatory services

Disclosure-compliant distribution for listed companies is a specialist service.

Editorial support and timing

Writing help, rush handling and contract or volume terms all affect the total.

How United Press quotes: we do not publish fixed prices either. Our Yahoo GlobeNewswire Package is tailored to your announcement and markets, and the exact sites, timeline and scope are confirmed in writing before you commit.

GlobeNewswire vs Business Wire vs PR Newswire

Short answer: All three are major global newswires. Business Wire is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, PR Newswire is part of Cision, and GlobeNewswire is operated by Notified. The right choice depends on your audience, markets and the specific circuit you need, not on the brand alone.

Visibility

Does a GlobeNewswire press release appear on Yahoo Finance and AP News?

Short answer: Our Yahoo GlobeNewswire Package is built for Yahoo Finance syndication, and the sites included are confirmed in writing before we start. GlobeNewswire releases also appeared in the AP News press releases section when we checked in November 2026.

Yahoo Finance is one of the most visited finance sites in the world, so a GlobeNewswire press release that reaches it puts your news where investors research companies every day.

AP News carries releases from several wires in its press releases section. Read our AP News press release distribution guide to understand what that placement means, and our Yahoo Finance press release guide for how Yahoo Finance publishes wire content.

Writing

How to write a GlobeNewswire press release that gets approved

Short answer: Lead with a factual headline, put the five Ws in the first paragraph, back every claim, quote a named executive, and close with a boilerplate and media contact. Avoid hype and anything that reads like an advert.

Do

  • State the news and the number in the headline
  • Add your ticker and exchange if you are listed
  • Include forward-looking statement wording when raising or listed
  • Quote a named leader on what happens next
  • Add one strong image or logo

Avoid

  • Words like “revolutionary” or “world-leading” without proof
  • Burying the key fact in paragraph four
  • Promises about share price or returns
  • Anonymous or unclear company ownership
  • Too many links or keyword stuffing

Amount, purpose and markets in one line. No adjectives doing the work that facts should do.

HEADLINE: [Company] [action] [result or purpose]
Subheadline: the key figure or benefit

[CITY], [Country], [Date] (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- [Company], a [one-line description],

Details: what, how much, when, where.
Proof: data, customers, partners, milestones.
"Quote with a view on what happens next," said [Name], [Title].

About [Company]: two to four sentences and your website.
Forward-looking statements (if listed or raising).
Media / investor contact: name, email, phone.
Expectations

What a GlobeNewswire press release can and cannot do

It can

  • Put your news where investors and financial media look
  • Give your announcement a recognised wire label
  • Create a permanent, searchable record of milestones
  • Give search engines and AI assistants trusted facts about your company

It cannot

  • Guarantee that journalists will write their own stories
  • Replace investor relations or media outreach
  • Turn weak news into a big story
  • Promise any effect on your share price

GlobeNewswire makes the same point in its own FAQ: distribution makes your news available to media and investors, but it does not guarantee editorial coverage. Use it as a dependable publishing channel, and pair it with outreach when you want journalists to cover the story.

Trust

Is GlobeNewswire legit and trusted?

Short answer: Yes. GlobeNewswire is an established newswire operated by Notified, with more than 30 years of history and thousands of organisations using it, including public companies that rely on it for financial disclosures.

The trust comes from process as much as reach: senders are verified, releases are reviewed, and each release is clearly labelled with its source. That is why investors treat a GlobeNewswire press release as an official company statement rather than marketing copy.

Be careful with sellers who use similar-sounding names. Always check that your provider is distributing through GlobeNewswire itself, and ask for the live link once it is published.

Timing

When should you send a GlobeNewswire press release?

Short answer: Send it when you have news that changes how an investor, customer or partner sees your company, and time it for the market you care about most, usually early in the US business day for North American investors.
Good momentsWhy it works
Funding round closesInvestors and future hires can verify the raise on a recognised wire
Results or trading updateShareholders get the facts at the same time, in a consistent format
Acquisition or major partnershipA clear, official statement prevents rumours and confusion
Senior appointmentSignals strength and continuity to investors and clients
Market or product launchGives sales teams a credible link to share with prospects

There are also times to wait. Avoid sending a GlobeNewswire press release when the news is not final, when a partner has not approved the wording, or when the announcement is really an advert. In those cases a social post, blog update or direct outreach is a better fit, and you keep the wire for news that deserves it.

For listed companies, remember that regulatory disclosure rules come first. Your GlobeNewswire press release should match what you have formally disclosed, word for word on the key facts.
