"The Hispanic MEDIAbase service is an essential tool for PR professionals looking to develop relationships with the increasingly influential Hispanic media," said Dalia Paratore Salazar, director of PR Newswire's Multicultural Products and Services. "Leveraging Hispanic PR Wire's deep industry contacts, the Hispanic MEDIAbase service provides robust and up-to-date information for thousands of Hispanic media outlets that exist in the United States and Puerto Rico."

The Hispanic MEDIAbase database enables users to conduct searches based on a reporter's name or publication, as well as advanced searches based on criteria such as outlet type, state, city and Designated Market Area (DMA).

The launch of the Hispanic MEDIAbase service extends PR Newswire's comprehensive suite of communications tools and services for engaging and interacting with the largest and fastest growing minority group in the U.S., according to the U.S. Census and the Pew Research Center. PR Newswire's industry-leading resources for communicating with U.S. Hispanic audiences include: Hispanic PR Wire, the leading news distribution service targeted towards Hispanic media and opinion leaders; Hispanic Digital Network, the nation's first and largest internet advertising network of U.S. Hispanic local media; ProfNet en Espanol, a forum for Spanish-language journalists, communications professionals and experts to connect and engage; and MultiVu Latino, which offers a full suite of media solutions for television, radio and the Internet targeted at the U.S. Hispanic market.
