TORONTO, June 11, 2012 /CNW/ - CNW Group announced today the launch of Visibility Reports for news releases issued over its newswire.

CNW's complimentary Visibility Reports provide powerful insight on the reach, engagement and effectiveness of a news release.

"Measuring public and investor relations success across new and traditional media demands trusted, quantifiable data," says Tim Griffin, Vice President of Product Management. "CNW Visibility Reports offer clients detailed analytics on the success of their news release distribution."

Embedded in CNW Access - CNW's online client portal - the Visibility Reports platform allows clients to get metrics on online viewership, news release postings, engagement, click-through tracking and more.

"This new visibility report feature is terrific. I can see a dozen ways we can use this feature to improve our media efforts and report on our successes," says Lezlie Goodwin, Manager of Communications for the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. "I plan to share this with key staff so that we can all utilize the features to improve our reach."
