Rap Newswire Launches New PR Community targeted at Rap/Hip-Hop Music & Entertainment Industry

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 3, 2006 — Rap Newswire a new Internet based public relations and news distribution company officially opened online today at http://www.rapnewswire.com. Rap Newswire is the first all rap/hip-hop news wire service for the global community of rap/hip-hop music entertainment professionals, web and print publishers and media marketing companies.

Rap Newswire services allow visitors as well as publishers, journalists and editors to post news, articles, press releases, and search the database. The site will serve users by managing news, articles, press releases, news feed subscribers, alert news subscribers as well as offer content for media publishers seeking the 411 on the rap/hip-hop music and entertainment industry everywhere. Future offerings will include allowing geographically separated news by topic.

“This is one of those services that was needed,” stated a spokesperson for Rap Newswire. “We expect most news sources to be hip-hop/urban web publishers and PR companies, however, independent artists and labels are encouraged to utilize the service to help efficiently distribute their news and press releases as well. Some of the focus categories on Rap Newswire include news on tours, concert news, music releases, new cd releases, video/dvd releases, radio and tv news, career news, industry opportunities, and more. A lot of times many of the artists and labels are independent and don”t have the resources to hire a PR agency or publicist to distribute their news, articles or press releases; this is one of the reasons why the services Rap Newswire offer will also benefit them. We want to help those in the rap music and entertainment business work smarter and give them a place to connect globally, find and make contacts in the Industry, network and market with them.”

As the rap/hip-hop music and entertainment industry continues to flourish more into the online world, Rap Newswire will represent a new and emerging opportunity for companies to communicate with those consumers online interested in the rap/hip-hop culture.
