Tennessee Press Service
Clipping Bureau

Want to know what the press is saying about you?

FIND OUT by letting us do the legwork for you, researching 135 daily and non-daily newspapers from across Tennessee.

  • Did you and your competition make the news?

  • Which newspapers picked up your press release?

  • Is your new product or service getting mentioned?

  • What has the public read that you haven’t?

The Tennessee Press Service Clipping Bureau is a dedicated staff of professional readers who read the general circulation newspapers from across the state. Every article, every word is always read and documented for your convenience.

The Clipping Bureau looks for any mention of your name or keywords you supply, and promptly forwards articles to you. How easy is that? For you and your employees, the sheer volume of newspapers would probably be overwhelming. For our Clipping Bureau, it’s just a day on the job.

OUR SERVICE includes the following:

• Newspapers from 93 of Tennessee’s 95 counties

• Covering 97% of Tennessee’s population

• More than 15,000 total issues annually

• And 180,000 clips going to our clients each year

A GREAT SOURCE FOR BUSINESS LEADS…
Many of the Clipping Bureau clients use our service as a source for business leads. It could be a lengthy article about a key prospect — information that can give your sales team something to talk about. Or it may be no more than a small mention in a list of, say, Top Producers or Major Employers. Knowing who made that list can generate important leads for your company. Staying up-to-date on the news that matters puts you on top of your game and gives you an edge over the competition.

NOT JUST ANOTHER ELCTRONIC SEARCH-AND-FIND.
If you are relying only on the Web to retrieve published information, you may be missing the story. Many online newspapers only post selected articles, and others require a subscription to read the entire story. Some newspapers don’t even have an online presence and exist only in hard copy, so there’s no way for a search engine to read their articles.

The Clipping Bureau’s trained staff comb through the printed columns of Tennessee papers with a keen eye for what you want to know. They’ve developed a unique skill for sight and comprehension that leaves no stone unturned, no mentioned unnoticed — something a mechanical search engine lacks.

A FASTER WAY TO GET CLIPPINGS.
For those customers who want their clippings delivered faster, the Clipping Bureau offers E-clips, an electronic clippings delivery system. As information becomes available, you will receive e-mail messages containing the date of the publication, and the clip file will be attached. It’s the easiest way to monitor what the press is saying about you.

A SMARTER USE OF YOUR MONEY.
Before you call 135 newspapers to ask about costs of daily or weekly delivery, let us save you time. We’ve already looked it up.

The cost of subscribing to all 135 Tennessee newspapers of general circulation served by the Clipping Bureau is more than $7,000 if you live in Tennessee, and your employees would be reading more than 15,000 newspapers a year.

Compare that to the cost of subscribing to our Clipping Bureau.
