Marketwire, a full-service newswire and communications workflow solutions provider, today announces an expanded news distribution circuit targeting the 160 million Hispanics living in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. At its core is NoticiasFinancieras, Latin America’s largest, most prominent news distribution and syndication system, and now a Marketwire company gained from its recent acquisition of International Media Services (IMS) Companies in January 2008. News distribution partners EFE, Associated Press, Notimex and Agencia El Universal are also part of this expanded distribution circuit.

According to the US Census Bureau, the Hispanic population in the US alone, now at almost 44.5 million, is estimated to increase by more than 1.7 million each year, and the group’s collective purchasing power of $700 billion is expected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2012 — triple that of the overall US population.

Marketwire’s North America Hispanic newsline reaches more than 5,000 journalists and editors through the NoticiasFinancieras news syndicate, generating news for print publications exceeding 3 million daily, and readership, including web properties, exceeding 10 million. The newsline includes the following services:

– Distribution to thousands of leading Hispanic cable/satellite, TV and
radio stations, Hispanic newspapers and magazines, websites and Internet
portals in the US, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico that feature or cover
Hispanic news.

– Direct feeds to major databases such as Factiva, Lexis-Nexis and
ProQuest.

– Distribution through all the major wire services and Hispanic news
agencies such as AP, EFE, Notimex, Agencia El Universal, SFP, La Nacion,
and El Nuevo Dia.

– Translation into Spanish, with guaranteed 24-hour turnaround.

press release’s online path after wire distribution.

“Marketwire’s North America Hispanic newsline is an integral part of our emerging markets growth strategy. We continue to invest in the resources and technologies that give our clients more effective and efficient ways to reach their target audiences — whether minority populations in North America or those in developing, third-world countries,” said Thom Brodeur, senior vice president, global strategy and development, Marketwire.
