NEW YORK & SYDNEY--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--Business Wire will leverage the comprehensive and dynamically updated media databases of iSentia -- the largest media information/business intelligence company in the Asia Pacific region -- to significantly expand its news distribution reach in the Australia and New Zealand markets, it was announced today.

The new arrangement will provide Business Wire members with precision targeting of industry trade journalists, in addition to full-scale coverage of mainstream and online media. Additionally, Business Wire reaches key Australasia media via its access to the global networks of The Associated Press and Agence France-Presse.
