 Presswire, the leading electronic distributor of press materials and information to the nation's print and broadcast college media, and College Publisher, the leading provider of technology and marketing services in the college media market, today announced the immediate availability of CP NewsLink -- an interactive online press conference product designed to help communicators reach student journalists.

CP NewsLink is a bundled service offering based on a one-hour, moderated online text chat between college journalists and PR newsmakers - including movie stars, celebrities, authors and politicians. The product, developed under a co-marketing agreement between the two companies, has been in production for nearly a year. The original idea for the product came from student journalists themselves, who asked both companies to develop a service that would allow them to participate in a story before it becomes front-page news.

For PR clients, a CP NewsLink session has several advantages over traditional press conferences and editorial teleconferences. First, it is available to student editors and clients through a standard Web browser The program that serves as your front end to the Web on the Internet. In order to view a site, you type its address (URL) into the browser's Location field; for example, www.computerlanguage.com, and the home page of that site is downloaded to you.  - so no phone connection is necessary and they can connect from virtually anywhere. Second, it saves clients the hassle Hassle () is a location in Närke, Sweden, where a Celtic treasure was found in 1936.

"This product represents a bold next step in the world of public relations public relations, activities and policies used to create public interest in a person, idea, product, institution, or business establishment. By its nature, public relations is devoted to serving particular interests by presenting them to the public in the most  to reach the college media," said Matthew Farlie, Director of Business Development for Collegiate Presswire. "Now, instead of just announcing the latest news to college editors, clients can interact with them and explain their story to the media in an entirely new way."

The CP NewsLink product is sold as a bundled package, containing two advance media alerts or press releases sent to the 800 subscribing college newspapers on Collegiate Presswire's national media wire. The centerpiece of the package is the one-hour, online, moderated chat session between newsmakers and college editors, hosted on College Publisher's servers. Finally, a recap re·cap 1

"CP NewsLink is an ideal way for clients to interact with key student opinion leaders and student journalists. For years, student journalists have sought to participate in "news-maker" events. CP NewsLink is exactly the type of news event that enables student journalists to break a story and share their opinion on important trend-setting ideas, product launches, political campaigns or movie and music releases," said John Fees, Chief Executive Officer of College Publisher.

CP NewsLink is ideal for entertainment companies, publishing companies, non-profits and anyone with an interest in reaching today's college students through their campus media. By combining the two companies' strengths - College Publisher's technology and Collegiate Presswire's media reach - CP NewsLink offers clients the opportunity to not only tell a story but also provide detail and background information for it while interacting directly with the editors.

Pricing for a CP NewsLink bundled package begins at $1,500, and conference dates are still available for the Spring 2004 semester se·mes·ter
