OCSN's U-WIRE (
www.uwire.com) is
the nation's
largest free newswire for college media and distributes student-produced content to more than 600
U-WIRE members, professional media outlets and syndication partners, such as
Yahoo!,
Excite,
New
York Times Digital and Lexis-Nexis. Student Advantage's sponsors and business partners can utilize
U-WIRE to send press releases directly to the student editors at all member papers.
In 2000, U-WIRE converted its internal publishing system "Copy Boy" onto Netitor, the same publishing
system utilized by OCSN. The technology support and development is identical. By combining the assets,
U-WIRE will be able to utilize efficiencies with a closer relationship with OCSN, while providing the
asset with an unprecedented college sports content offering. In addition to sports, U-WIRE also provides
syndication opportunities in News, Opinions and Lifestyles from the top universities and journalism programs
around the country.
