BW CONNECT HELPS PR PROS: PLACING RELEASES ONLINE

In the long line of recent technology-enhanced job tools making PR practitioners' lives a tad bit easier, comes this: At the close of last year, Business Wire unveiled its BW Connect, a software system which enables PR and investor relations professionals to speed their news releases directly to the Business Wire network with the click of a mouse.

The purpose of BW Connect is to eliminate the need for PR professionals to fax or e-mail new releases.

Free copies of BW Connect can be downloaded from Business Wire's Web site: http://www.businesswire.com. (Business Wire, 212/752-9600)
