APO (African Press Organization) , the sole press release newswire in Africa and the global leader in media relations relating to Africa, today announced that it will offer distribution for embargoed press releases as a complimentary service.
Embargoes play an important role in disseminating news to the media in Africa.
Journalists in Africa are often bombarded with information coming from all types of sources and qualifying them can sometimes be a challenge.
An embargoed news release allows the journalist to prioritise on the news of the day, research and produce a story.
APO is the African leader in news distribution and is viewed by the media as a valuable source for legitimate and accurate information. In fact, APO content is republished on a regular basis by respected global news media.
Journalists, freelancers and bloggers who are registered with APO are eligible to receive advance, embargoed press releases distributed by APO. Eligible individuals are screened and must agree to follow the terms of the APO embargo policy.
"APO has extensive contacts with influential news editors specialised in Africa, allowing targeted and effective news distribution of embargoed material. Embargoed press release distribution in Africa will now be included as a complimentary service in response to client requests," said Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard, Founder and CEO of APO (African Press Organization).
