Based on the original Social Media Press Release Template from Todd Defren of SHIFT Communications, PRX Builder helps you easily create the next generation of press releases. Enhance your press release with new media elements such as links, multimedia, and social media service buttons for digg and del.icio.us. Automatically add Technorati tags and then distribute your release through PR Newswire.

With SimpleSMPR, it’s easy to create a release using WordPress.  Write your release, tag the release elements, and publish.  You can upload your release directly from WordPress to PRX Builder and distribute it through PR Newswire.  Release templates are provided, or make and save your own.

Media Tools is a Firefox extension that includes a tool called PR Slice.  PR Slice detects new media releases when you visit a web page and breaks apart the release, making it easier to pull just the pieces that you need for further research or insertion into your articles.

PRX Office, a Microsoft® Word Add-In, makes it easy to publish your release from a Word document.  Write your release, highlight the text, and right-click to use the PRX Office shortcut menu.

“The ‘Big Change’ is the recognition that journalists are Internet users – they are increasingly comfortable researching and working online, across many types of ‘re-mixable media’ (hyperlinks, text, photos, videos, etc.) … The Social Media Press Release merely amplifies prospective source materials; it does not replace a well-crafted, customized pitch nor replace the need to provide basic, factual news to the media.”
