AutoNews is the automotive industry's one-stop media site, delivering material directly from your company to the media, your senior management, your suppliers and your dealer network in an efficient, timely and cost effective manner.

Traditional delivery methods, such as mailing and faxing, simply do not work when the recipients are away - which is more often than not the case with this mobile group of operatives. Press releases and publish-quality photographs are published onto AutoNews, a closed user-group site or Extranet, and a short e-mail alert is sent to the user list. This alert contains the heading and first paragraph of your release and a hyperlink to the site at www.autonews.net.au.

Journalists can then choose to go straight to the material or access it at a time to suit, depending on where they are. The importance of this service is that:

• You send one e-mail
• Your material is published and your entire mailing list is notified
• You have not compromised your relationship with the journalists by clogging their e-mail system with huge files or attachments
• You are not relying on journalists to access stand alone corporate Web sites or
• Remembering your site's stand-alone password

Additionally, the service dramatically cuts the distribution costs of media releases and photographs, delivering the material instantly.

All material is archived, searchable and available for research on a 365 x 7 x 24 basis at anytime from anywhere.

The password protected site is driven by a smart database that 'knows' exactly what each user may view, rendering all other areas totally invisible. If your dealers or suppliers have been accessed to AutoNews, they only receive alerts for your material and only see your location.

AutoNews is the Australian journalists' one-stop media site of choice.
