News Release

FOR NEWS MEDIA: FlashAlert Offers New Feature For Media Outlets To Receive News Releases From Any Region - 09/03/26

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2026 – FlashAlert announces a new feature for media organizations that may be helpful to your newsroom.

 

To prevent smaller media outlets from being overwhelmed by out‑of‑area content, FlashAlert allows our client organizations to target their news releases to specific markets - even down to smaller individual cities such as South Lane, Oregon or Chehalis, Washington. When a client chooses only to send their release to those smaller markets, media outlets outside of that market will not receive the release (e.g. a small business serving Troutdale, Oregon could choose to send a release just to Troutdale resulting in Portland media not receiving it even though Troutdale is in the Portland / Vancouver / Salem region).

 

We’ve now introduced an override option for media outlets that want broader visibility.

 

Your newsroom can choose to automatically receive all releases sent to any region you select, even if the originating organization did not include your hometown market city when posting. For example, if you want to receive every release sent to the Portland/Vancouver/Salem region - or even every release sent anywhere in Colorado, Oregon or Washington - we can enable that.

 

If this is of interest, simply send an email to support@flashalert.net and let us know which regions you would like to receive all releases from:

  • Bend / Central–Eastern Oregon
  • Boise / Southern Idaho
  • Colorado Springs / Pueblo
  • Columbia (Pendleton / Tri‑Cities / Yakima)
  • Eugene / Springfield / Roseburg / Albany / Corvallis
  • Medford / Klamath Falls / Grants Pass
  • Portland / Vancouver / Salem
  • Spokane / Eastern Washington / North Idaho

This feature is completely optional. If your current setup is working well, no changes will be made.

 

Additionally, we want to hear from YOU:

  • What can FlashAlert do to help make your news team more efficient?
  • Are there features or capabilities you would like to see added to the FlashAlert network?
  • Do you have any other comments or suggestions?

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to the ongoing development of new features and streamlined efficiency.

 

Thank you for your ongoing partnership in the FlashAlert network. We couldn't do what we do without you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Eric Jacobson
CEO – FlashAlert / irx, LLC
