\"JOURNO_oldschool\"In 1978, a small news and pictures agency was founded in Bristol providing news and pictures to local and national press.<\/p>\n

Almost 40 years on, SWNS is the biggest independent news wire in the UK supplying some of the world\u2019s most hard-hitting content to major newspapers, magazines, broadcasters and websites employing more than 100 editorial staff across offices in London, Plymouth, Cambridge, Birmingham, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Yorkshire.<\/p>\n

The commercial success built on the back of SWNS\u2019s growth is evidenced by the wealth of coverage<\/a> secured for our clients on a day-to-day basis. Using the first campaign as a case in point, Harris Brushes were able to secure coverage in the Daily Mail, the Daily Express and the Mirror, among others, because national and regional press trust our content and trust that we can supply them with material that works across all their platforms.<\/p>\n

But the digital generation has shaken up the media industry. Our research<\/a>\u00a0revealed 76 per cent of people now consume media \u2018digitally\u2019 and almost one in ten consume more than 16 stories a day, with the average Brit consuming 5.9 media stories a day.<\/p>\n

Our thirst for media and our ability to digest various forms of media – \u00a095 per cent of respondents said they consume media on multiple platforms 48 per cent take a multi-channel approach to media – has given birth to a wealth of new digital platforms that aren\u2019t easily serviced by the traditional news wire.<\/p>\n

Which is why we reinvented it.<\/p>\n

Bloggers, vloggers, digital editors and influencers can now source content on our new digital news wire<\/a> that caters exclusively for online publications. The emphasis is on rich, visual content and news releases that encourage social sharing, with news copy, images, audio and video bundled into one downloadable file.<\/p>\n

The wire has been launched as a one-stop-shop for editors on the hourly hunt for news, with a simple, four-click solution to capturing the story and publishing it. This ensures that we appeal to time-poor bloggers, editors and influencers by delivering content in a timely manner.<\/p>\n

Since its launch, hundreds of users have registered with the Digital Hub<\/a> for survey news, lifestyle content and releases from across the web and social media. With a target to get that number into the thousands in the near future, the hub is steadily becoming the go-to place for digital media outlets.<\/p>\n

For 72Point clients, that means that not only do they have a pick of the national press, but also of the increasingly influential online publications that have surfaced in its wake. With the lion\u2019s share of media consumers taking a \u2018multi\u2019 approach to media, having all the bases covered is a surefire means of receiving unparalleled coverage.<\/p>\n
