"I love the Newswise DailyWire. It's great to have it land on my desktop every morning ... I go to the Newswise articles that are of interest to me and print them out for future (or sometimes immediate) use."

***

"I enjoy the immediate access to all the release links on the same page."

***

"I look it through every time it shows up, often referring items to colleagues."

***

"I get all the latest news on research so I can plan my articles ahead and write them so they are ready to go when the embargo is lifted."

***

"I often find stories on the wire.... I rely on the medical section, but refer stories in other categories to the assignment desk."

***

"It gives me information from several sources in one spot, making my job a bit easier. I check it regularly."

***

"I probably use it every single time I write...citing multiple studies. I've also searched [the online archive] when assigned stories to see what's been done on particular topics."

***

"Newswise is a great site, bringing together a broad spectrum of science-related stories and announcements. As an editor, I find it extremely valuable; especially in that we are able to study embargoed stories and prepare for them before the news hits the general press."

***

"What I like best is the archive. I find that related stories crop up about one year (!) after the news release came out, and I can then go back and reference experts in the field, now that their work is nearer commercialization."

***

"In addition to the releases, I find the meetings list to be helpful. Thanks!"

***

"I use Newswise regularly...The design and execution of Newswise is very good, and the one time that I used the expert tool...the results were spectacular."

***

"I especially like the fact that everything is backed up with a study. That's imperitive for fact checking."

***

"Newswise consistently points me to stories I'd probably have missed."

***

"We read it as soon as it arrives and often use it as a source for sources and stories."

***

"As a freelancer, assignments come only after I've developed an idea on my own and submitted a query. The DailyWire has been an exceptional tool in that area. I also use the DailyWire to obtain names of potential sources and I am thrilled to learn about the Newswise Query Service."

***

"I find Newswise very helpful in staying up-to-date on science news and locating contacts."

***

"I visit the website at least once daily. The format is easy to follow and has the kind of information I am looking for."

***

"I start with the press releases you put together and work from there to develop stories. Often, the topic hasn't crossed my mind until I see it in the DailyWire."

***

"I find Newswise unbelievably helpful. I can't tell you how many people I've recommended use your site."

***

"So much good stuff comes in daily ... that I need to do little Web research to find story ideas and assignments."

***

"I've used Newswise numerous times to tip me off to new research that might fit into articles that I'm preparing for magazines, and through it always contact the researcher for interviews. It's one of the best sources I use as a full-time independent writer."

***

"I have used Newswise to find experts for a story and I am pleasantly surprised by the wealth of information that has been placed before me."

***

"It's one of the most useful news services I have found or used in more than 20 years of my professional writing career."
