PR Newswire, and China-based Xinhua PR Newswire, will waive fees for organizations that wish to communicate their efforts of assistance to media and public audiences in the United States and China. PR Newswire's corporate social responsibility partner, CSRwire, will also waive fees for distribution to their network of academics, activists, CSR investment houses, NGOs, educational institutions and government bodies.
"It's hard to believe that we are facing another natural disaster of such severe magnitude in Asia within a week of the last one, but we are, so those organizations with the power to help should be doing so immediately," said Dave Armon, chief operating officer, PR Newswire. "Just as we did last week with the crisis in Myanmar, we are granting access to our network in the U.S. and China so that we can assist organizations in communicating their relief and recovery initiatives to aid the victims of this devastating earthquake."
