Information for Clients
Delivering press material to key target media is an essential ingredient at the heart of every successful business, and yet it is often mundane, administrative-heavy and carries no guarantees.
For more than 35 years Newspress has therefore been assisting the UK rsquo;s top automotive PR departments and consultancies with their media communications.
From the simplest one page release to major international multi-language press kits, our team ensures that news is delivered with precision timing to specifically tailored distribution lists both within the UK and beyond.
Add to this the renowned Newspress automotive website and twice-daily email news round-up service, the design and production of full press kits (both digital and print), media websites, press fleet administration and hotline services and it isn rsquo;t surprising that Newspress has become recognised as the foremost provider of press information to the motoring industry in the UK.
We pride ourselves on our friendly approach, attention to detail, and our ability to react quickly to extremely tight deadlines, thus creating a fast, reliable and highly professional service.
Whether you simply require us to make your news available on our website, or take a fully packaged multi-media presentation to motoring journalists all over the world, Newspress has the necessary skills and experience to ensure you reach your target audience on time and in the most effective way possible.
The Newspress website and twice-daily email service
www.newspress.co.uk is a password protected, journalist-dedicated site that sits at the very centre of Newspress operations. Enjoying on average over 3,000 user sessions per day it is widely recognised as the first port of call for the latest breaking news.
Constantly updated, it guarantees immediate exposure, and its protected status ensures complete exclusivity to the motoring media.
Its easy to use, intuitive nature means journalists can quickly retrieve information without complication. Furthermore, all material added is retained indefinitely offering journalists a permanent and constantly expanding information resource.
Twice-daily email news round-up service
An inclusive extra service considered extremely valuable by our clients is the twice-daily news round-up that gathers together the day rsquo;s releases and dispatches them to an email listing of approximately 4,500 journalists shy; sent at their specific request. With one email sent as a lunchtime round-up and a complete run-down of the days news every evening, these emails are invaluable to the motoring media.
Targeted distribution service
Targeting information at key media markets is a service Newspress has refined and perfected over many years. Our long-term experience of automotive journalism in particular means we have an in-depth knowledge of the key players, and our in-house developed and cross-linked database is recognised as one of the most sophisticated in the business. Covering all UK outlets, both automotive and non-automotive, as well as many overseas websites and publications, it is constantly researched and updated to ensure maximum accuracy.
Distribution lists are compiled specifically to suit the needs of individual clients, and the subject matter of the information to be distributed.
Material is sent directly to the journalists' inbox from trusted Newspress email addresses, often bypassing sensitive spam filters. Your news is delivered personally to the people that count, in the way that matters to them and with the speed and efficiency for which Newspress is renowned.

Our facilities enable us to provide a range of lsquo;add on rsquo; services such as the distribution and management of press invitations, the copywriting of releases and/or full press kits, while we can also hold and maintain in-house lists for the distribution of newsletters, corporate information etc.

ldquo;Newspress has been hosting both the Toyota and Lexus media websites since 1998. In that time both sites have been redesigned to keep pace with ever changing technology and design trends. The team at Newspress always keep in mind that the site is for the use of journalists who need to access and download information instantly. Therefore the focus is always on customer needs and Newspress manage to keep the sites looking fresh and up-to-date while still maintaining the instant functionality required. rdquo; Erica Haddon, Manager Press Relations, Toyota (GB)
Newspress hotline information resource
Holding information for a large number of automotive clients, Newspress is able to respond to individual requests from journalists for press kits, photography and specifics regarding cars/products. In fact, any information can be sent out, so easing the time pressures on press office operations.
How does it work?
The client is allocated an exclusive Hotline number, which is circulated to journalists along with their press information.
Our staff will then handle the calls and respond to individual requests for information either by post or email, whichever is required by the journalist.
This is an immediate turnaround service that provides standard information quickly to journalists who in our experience are more often than not up against a deadline.
Clearly, if the journalist requires more than the basic information, such as opinion and comment, then their request will be redirected to the client sup1;s press office.
Press fleet administration service
Operated from the same information resource department, press fleet managers are invited to forward their bookings on to us. Our staff will then forward on the relevant press kits, specification sheets and personalised covering letters to each listed journalist just prior to their receiving a press car ensuring a smooth and efficient service.
This provision particularly highlights the natural benefits of seeing Newspress as an extra staff member who can be called on when necessary to fulfil time-consuming tasks, so allowing your own staff the time to target their resources where they matter most.
ldquo;Newspress is an invaluable resource in helping our PR department give journalists a swift, no-nonsense and accurate service. The Newspress team is always willing to help, and to go the extra mile. It is an excellent service at a fair price. rdquo; Rob Halloway, Press and Public Relations Manager Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars.

Information for Journalists
Welcome to the Newspress automotive website, a convenient one-stop source of words, pictures, videos and other media files that is constantly updated and designed specifically with the requirements of journalists in mind. Simple navigation, easily downloadable material and pictures in a variety of resolutions are features aimed at making information as readily accessible as possible.
All output added to the site can also be emailed to you on a daily basis in a variety of formats ndash; releases as text files, Word files or hyperlinks. Further fine-tuning allows you to receive only those topics of interest to you.
Alternatively you may now receive the daily output as an RSS feed if you prefer.
Other valuable features on the site include Auto Insight, a growing library of features covering a wide-range of automotive topics such as airbag technology, tyre technology and alternative fuels. These are designed to provide background material to support features that you may be compiling, as well as serving as a quick look-up facility to save you the bother of hunting through your own archives or undertaking time-consuming web searches.
Newspress.co.uk also offers an industry contacts database that you will find under the Company Resource Pages. This is searchable by company as well as by surname, and conveniently brings together press office details, as well as any words and pictures issued by that company via Newspress. A mini company website in effect.
We have also included a journalist database ndash; both freelance and staff journalists ndash; so that press offices have your details readily to hand, but also providing a useful directory for anyone seeking contributors. If you would like your details included, then please contact us and we will happily add them.
We also post coverage from the key international motor shows on the site in recognition of the fact that they produce good copy and pictures and the fact that many journalists are unable to attend them. All the material provided is copyright free for you to use as you see fit.
Our UK car data has long been one of the most accurate and up to date sources of pricing and specification details and it has now been enhanced with pick-up, van and wholelife cost data, again in easily searchable files. We have also brought together the most recent Euro NCAP results in one table for easy searching.
In addition to the Newspress RSS feed, we have also provided some feeds from key publications that you will find at the bottom of the home page.
