Beijing, Aug. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- As a world-leading provider of corporate news distribution, PR Newswire has recently enhanced its Multimedia News Release (MNR) service. Using the latest technology of HTML 5, the enhanced MNR makes it possible to show multimedia news content via various browsers supported by iOS and most of the Android platforms. The enhancement will not only expand the coverage of multimedia news distribution on mobile devices, but also enhance mobile consumers' news reading experience.
With the development of Internet technology in the past few years, online users have been engaged with more and more video content, making it a fundamental and one of the most important elements in news distribution and marketing. Following this trend, PR Newswire offers MNR service in order to combine text-only news with multimedia content, including videos, pictures, customized background, hyperlinks, file downloads, social media sharing tools and call-for-action buttons. Various types of corporate news content will reach different news websites and journalists so that more target audiences can be engaged in online search engines and social networks. So far, PR Newswire's MNR service has helped many clients such as Adidas, Mercedes-Benz, Johnnie Walker, Tourism Australia, Gates Foundation, Lego, etc. to engage a huge number of audiences.
In the past few years, online surfing and information collecting via mobile devices has become an everyday habit for many news consumers. Thus, PR Newswire has developed its independent iOS App to make it more convenient for consumers and journalists to read news from PR Newswire on their mobile devices.
