About Mynewsdesk
Mynewsdesk is a Stockholm PR platform, founded in 2003 and owned by Norway's DN Media Group since 2008, that bundles a hosted newsroom, press release distribution, a journalist database the vendor puts at one million contacts, and media monitoring into one subscription. The Nordic footprint is the substance: the site ships in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German and English, and most of its 4,000-plus customer organisations sit in those markets. Monitoring claims 230,000+ sources across 222 countries, audio and video transcription the vendor rates at under 5% error, and coverage of podcasts, radio, TV, YouTube and TikTok. Pricing is unusually half-open: an Essential plan from €220 a month buys a thin ration (four press releases a year, one brand monitored, one newsroom market) and can be bought monthly in-tool after a ten day trial, while the PR Distribution and Media Monitoring plans that carry the real product are quote-only. Treat the marketing numbers with care: "100% precision" and "100% relevant mentions, no spam" are claims no monitoring engine can literally honour.
