Broadcast distribution firm Medialink, New York, acquired PR Data
Systems Inc., Norwalk, Conn., a news release distribution and media
coverage analysis firm. Announced on July 26, the move marks
Medialink's first foray into print media distribution. With most of
its work in video distribution, Medialink earlier this year added
radio distribution services.
The staff of PR Data Systems will report to Mark Weiner, a former
PR Data staffer, who joined Medialink last year to launch Medialink
Public Relations Research. (Medialink, 212/682-8300; PR Data,
