"I'm
impressed. I got a call from the new LA Times agriculture reporter
about my news releases before I'd even noticed they'd been posted."

"AScribe's
ability to put our news into major electronic news libraries
like
Dow Jones Interactive and Lexis-Nexis ensures that it's available
to both journalists and the public interested in that topic
long
after the day we release it."

"AScribe
helps to level the playing field between larger and smaller
institutions.
On any given day, everyone has access to the same technology at
the same reasonable rates. And AScribe is able to send our
stories
to places that are difficult for individual institutions to reach."

"In
an age when the web is creating almost exponential growth in
media
outlets, AScribe is a useful arrow in the quiver of media relations
professionals. The important thing to remember is that Darwinian
rules
of journalism still apply. Good stories get noticed; bad stories
don't."

"If
I were to design a newswire, it would stream university news to
newsrooms, news providers, information data bases and Web portals.
This is the kind of service that Ascribe is developing."

"I
was pleased when AScribe expanded to the Pacific Northwest
and WSU
could join. Your service is especially important for a university
in a rural area. AScribe is already making a difference both
with
traditional and web media."

"AScribe
is building a system that will ensure that news from the nonprofit
sector will find its way to the mainstream media in a way never
before available."

"Universities
and other nonprofits must find ways to aggregate news so that
it
stands out in newsrooms and is easy to use for the builders of
web portals and other online services. AScribe offers just
such tools."

"The 2030 Center is a Washington-based research and advocacy nonprofit
organization. AScribe helps us reach the rest of the country beyond
the beltway with our message. We find it valuable to have our news
on a wire with other research and public-policy findings instead
of corporate and financial news."

Director,
2030 Center

"As
media power becomes increasingly concentrated, nonprofits must
'work
smarter' to get past the media gatekeepers. The cost of AScribe
is small weighed against the benefits of instant access to
many
of the key media outlets in the country. And results are dynamic.
Within minutes of a release hitting the wire, the phone rings.
The
days of doing it alone are over."

"We're
pleased with the response we get when we send news via AScribe.
Within an hour of sending our last three releases we had calls
from
the LA Times and the Daily News of Los Angeles wanting to do stories.
We can't ask for better service than that."
Carmen Chandler
News Director
California State University, Northridge

"AScribe
is doing a stellar job of turning 'high-quality news' into
'high-quality
placements.' We're hearing nothing but good things - and lots of
it - from our mutual clients."

"AScribe
began as a UC-Berkeley project and the founders are Haas School
alumni -- but that's not why we use the service. We use AScribe
for every business school news release because it consistently
produces
results we would not otherwise get."
Ute S. Frey
Associate Director, Marketing & Communications
Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley

"We
have been very pleased with AScribe's customer service. They
regularly
inform us when our releases have been picked up by various news
outlets."
