I did actually look into the cost of this sort of thing, and the

quotes I got were around $400 per release to send just to one group

of journalists. I think the membership fee is just that, then you pay

by the word for each release - minimum 400 words. Extra categories of

journalists and photos etc. cost extra.
For the time being I was going to use linuxpr.com and lwn.net, which

are free as in beer, eg:
http://linuxpr.com/releases/6572.html
If there's an equivalent website for the audio/music industry, I think

it would be better to use that - far better targetted, and probably a

lot cheaper. Direct contacts are more valuable than newswire

releases, in my opinion, so hopefully we'll be building those up too. 
Cheers
