The majority of today's internet surfers seek a unique website
- one that educates, entertains, is easy to
navigate, and is appealing to the eye! This is what Black PR Wire's
new interactive website seeks to do.
"Our website not only provides the latest news and information for
the Black community at their fingertips, but it does so in any easy
to navigate manner," says Bernadette Morris, president and CEO. "We
encourage everyone to log on and join other happy Black PR Wire
surfers from across the country as they explore and learn
more!"
New enhancements to Black PR Wire's website include the ability to
sign up for our FREE mobile app, as well as the opportunity to
utilize our automatic posting and distribution services. As
traditionally provided, there is still movement at every twist and
turn. The site highlights client press releases arranged by
category, includes an overview of our clipping service, and offers
a peek into our client database. The site also features a calendar
of events and a blog.
If that's not enough, there are several client work samples
including electronic video messages, electronic newsletters, and
video and audio releases. Be on the lookout for the new website's
debut!

Sonshine Communications, Black PR Wire's sister company, is
launching a new interactive and animated online environmental
website, entitled eGreenboard.com, the nation's first online,
interactive and totally cool environmental education website. It
will provide key information about the Earth's natural resources
and conservation. Topics include climate change, ecosystem
restoration, fish and wildlife, and much more. Our focus on
eco-diversity and minority outreach is what sets us apart from
competitors. Our innovative site will feature entertaining
educational products such as comic strips, screensavers and music
videos; to novelas and Haitian audio programs; to an eGreen Machine
- a traveling van filled with hands-on games and
other information about the environment and the ecosystem. The
website will serve as the ultimate educational resource with
activities and games, lesson plans, and even the ability to rent
interactive kiosks (called the Tree of Life).
 The website tool
will be used in school and educational settings as well as for
personal research, knowledge and information. The content is
appropriate for kids, young adults and adults. Sonshine and Black
PR Wire have been diligently seeking endorsement/support from
corporations, federal government agencies, and environmental groups
to partner with us in this initiative and have garnered a wealth of
support. The website will be powered by these agencies which will
be officially deemed the eGreen Team. In exchange for their
sponsorship, partners will receive banner ads on the
eGreenboard.com website, and much more! For more information on how
you can partner with Sonshine and Black PR Wire in this endeavor,
please contact Bernadette Morris at 1-877-BLACKPR.

the fun by signing up for the Black PR Wire Hook Up and the Black
Resources Directory. Both services offer exemplary exposure and
benefits for you to enjoy. And they're so much
fun!
To join the Hook Up, the process is simple. When you give us the
names and e-mail addresses of your friends and family, you will
earn points toward a free BPRW/BDN service or entertainment
discount. The more people you refer, the more points you earn, and
the better the reward you will receive.
The Black Resource Directory lists black professionals and their
businesses. The listing is free and there is a nominal fee to
include your photo, logo or company video. Be among the
nation's finest and in the company of great
businesses!
