01 / The Feed

What Appeared Here

This page showed an example of a fashion news feed from PRWeb, the press-release distribution service. Unlike the digest examples in this folder, the machinery was PRWeb's own: a headline-syndication script loaded the ten newest fashion releases with channel formatting applied on the page, so the box read as a small fashion newswire — brand announcements, store openings, collection launches and company news, each linked to its full release.

PRWeb is a press-release service, a different company from PR Newswire. Its feed showed the industry talking about itself: where the newspaper examples carried journalism, this box carried the releases that journalists and directories worked from.

02 / The History

What Happened

The widget endpoint no longer exists: the script's address returns 404, so the embed renders a blank space — there is no frozen snapshot and no error message, just nothing where the headlines were. What Cision discontinued was the free JavaScript headline widget that publishers embedded; the distribution service behind it never closed.

PRWeb is alive and owned by Cision — the page noted the Cision ownership even while the widget worked, PRWeb's parent Vocus having merged with Cision in 2014. Companies still distribute fashion press releases through PRWeb today; they simply no longer offer the embeddable headline box this page used.

03 / Today

Where to Look Now

Apparel Search is not affiliated with PRWeb or Cision. The releases the feed displayed were developed, owned and maintained by PRWeb and the companies that issued them.

The living equivalent is PRWeb itself: prweb.com is the current service, where fashion press releases are distributed and can be read today.

Questions

Common Questions

Why does the PRWeb feed show a blank space?

The embed was PRWeb's own JavaScript headline widget, and its script address now returns 404. With no script to load, the box renders nothing at all — there is no snapshot left behind, as there is on the digest pages.

Is PRWeb still in business?

Yes. PRWeb is alive and owned by Cision — its parent Vocus merged with Cision in 2014. What was discontinued is the free headline widget websites embedded, not the press-release service.

Is PRWeb the same company as PR Newswire?

No. PRWeb and PR Newswire are different press-release services. This page used PRWeb's own widget; the two companies' feeds and tools were never interchangeable.
