Since pioneering national mat release distribution in 1933, the feature services of Metro Editorial Services have been a staple in the media relations efforts of just about every major company, business and agency in the United States. With Metro's proven editorial formats, designed to deliver maximum exposure for important company, product or service releases, clients enjoy success throughout the year by reaching newspaper editors and their readers in the most effective and economical way. Only Metro provides a direct connection between its clients and the editors at daily and weekly newspapers throughout North America. Being a part of Metro's monthly distribution means that a client's feature(s) are accessible by and promoted to thousands of editors -- including those at the top 200 dailies. Editors receive Metro's monthly feature package right as they are planning their special sections and consumer editorial for that time of year, which gives clients' feature(s) the best opportunity for success.

Each package — filled with client features running in either the themed section(s) or the general-interest Timely Features area — is ideally promoted, timed and distributed to newspapers in print, on CD-ROM and online in Metro's state-of-the-art search and retrieval gateway. In addition, release(s) are part of Metro's complete package of editorial and creative resources -- the first tool newspapers rely on to help them quickly and easily fulfill their editorial needs, develop locally-targeted themed sections and produce specialty publications. With over 70 years of experience, only Metro provides this kind of service and connection to newspapers.

In 2002 Metro added broadcast services to its client offerings through strategic alliances with top-name companies. Multimedia packages provide clients with the ability to coordinate top-quality print, television and radio releases, conveniently and economically.

In June 2004 Metro became a pioneer once again when it launched ConTexto Latino, with Hispanic PR Wire, the nation's first fully dedicated Hispanic editorial features service. With this comprehensive resource clients now have the ability to effectively reach Hispanic consumers, the fastest growing segment in the country.

In 2008 Web services are being added to Metro's product line, along with broadcast options, through a strategic alliance with PR Newswire.

For over 70 years, Metro Editorial Services has continued to expand and develop its feature services, distribution methods and multi-media partnerships so that clients are always offered the most economical way to achieve maximum results with their media relations efforts.

Metro Editorial Services is a division of Metro Creative Graphics, Inc., a privately-held corporation headquartered in New York City since 1910. Among the firsts in its illustrious history, Metro pioneered subscription clip art in 1910 and themed special sections and mat releases in 1933. Today as then, Metro remains the leader in providing the newspaper industry with monthly creative and editorial content -- in print, on CD-ROM and online.
