African News Agency (ANA) has launched a global PR Wire service which allows African businesses, organisations and individuals to share their news releases instantly. 

President and Chief Executive Officer of ANA, Grant Fredericks said “this service propels Africa into newsrooms and boardrooms. We are providing African businesses, start-ups and entrepreneurs with a tool that moves them into the global spotlight. Our cutting-edge information dissemination platform empowers Africans to share their own news as frequently and as affordably as possible.”

The cloud-based service is free to access and use press releases.

“The world needs more information about Africa’s aspiration: our start-ups, local entrepreneurs and the many exciting and high-potential development initiatives on our continent. Africa is rising and the ANA PR Wire empowers Africans – from all countries – to share their own news with an international audience,” said Melanie Cheary, ANA Head of News and Content.
