Newsworthy.ai Reports 2025 Growth Through AI-Driven Press Release Innovation and Network Expansion

Newsworthy.ai released a year-end recap highlighting a landmark 2025 marked by rapid innovation, accelerated growth, and industry-first advancements in AI-powered news distribution. As the media and discovery landscape continues to fragment across search engines, AI systems, social platforms, aggregators, and zero-click environments, press releases now function as high-performing marketing assets that keep brands current in the news cycle and improve discoverability across platforms.

Throughout 2025, Newsworthy.ai solidified its position as the most advanced and AI-forward press release newswire in the industry by applying AI across the full news lifecycle. Unlike traditional wires that syndicate identical copy across generic sites, Newsworthy.ai uses AI to transform each press release into multiple unique, context-aware formats that align with how people, search engines, and AI systems discover information. Releases distributed through Newsworthy.ai are structured to support E-E-A-T alignment and modern AI ingestion, increasing the likelihood that brand announcements are retrieved, referenced, and cited by AI-driven search and answer engines.

In 2025, Newsworthy.ai significantly expanded its distribution footprint, tripling its total distribution endpoints. The company expanded its growing network of proprietary and partner sites designed for niche and targeted distribution, including geographic-focused outlets covering key markets and topical news networks spanning various industries. As part of this expansion, Newsworthy.ai launched its proprietary In-Focus Network, a growing collection of topic-specific and vertical news websites featuring curated news and expert commentary that complements broad syndication.

During the year, Newsworthy.ai introduced multiple major platform upgrades, including branded newsrooms, enhanced reporting with effective cost-per-click metrics, a redesigned dashboard, premium distribution options, and the launch of NewsCrafters.com, which bridges paid press releases with earned media through AI-assisted, human-curated content. The company also launched the industry's first proprietary advertising network built specifically for press releases, enabling brands to further amplify visibility and engagement beyond traditional distribution models.

David McInnis, founder of Newsworthy.ai and founder of PRWeb, stated that AI has fundamentally changed how news is discovered and consumed by both people and AI systems. Mark M. Willaman, Co-founder of Newsworthy.ai, emphasized that 2025 was a defining year as the company continued to lead the shift from traditional press release distribution to true news marketing by applying AI across content creation, optimization, distribution, and measurement. As Newsworthy.ai heads into 2026, the company plans to continue expanding its AI capabilities, proprietary networks, and measurement tools to further strengthen its leadership in the rapidly evolving press release and news marketing landscape.
