Background

PR Newswire was founded in 1954 by Herbert Muschel, who sent press releases to newsrooms by teleprinter, at first from his Manhattan home. It later passed through corporate owners and was sold by UBM to Cision in 2016 for about $841 million, with GTCR as Cision's private-equity backer at the time. Platinum Equity took Cision private in a deal of roughly $2.7 billion that closed on January 31, 2020. PR Newswire serves as a paid distribution channel: customers write the text and the service sends it to newsrooms, financial terminals and websites. It does not independently verify or edit the claims in releases. Prologis, a large publicly traded logistics-real-estate company, uses wires like this to meet disclosure and investor-relations needs. These releases are written to present results and strategy favorably, so readers should treat figures and outlook statements as the company's own claims, which often come with forward-looking-statement disclaimers. Any political or policy comments tend to be limited to business effects such as tariffs, supply chains and financing costs.
