What Are Industry-Specific Press Release Services?
An industry-specific press release service specializes in distributing your news to media channels that focus on your vertical:
Examples include:

- Finance: Economic Times, MoneyControl, Finextra
- Real Estate: Realty Plus, MagicBricks Now, PropertyWire
