LINE Yahoo Reports First Delivery Data for News PR Press Release Service

LINE Yahoo released delivery data for News PR by LINE Yahoo, a service that publishes press releases on Yahoo! News. Since the July 2026 launch, applications passed 1,000 as of September 9, 2026. For 450 articles published by September 17, data aggregated through September 23 shows an average of 545,905 impressions per article, and 254 articles (56.4 percent) exceeded 2,000 page views.

The service runs on two plans at 30,000 yen per publication, excluding tax. The AI Creative PR Plan uses OpenAI's generative AI to rebuild the article with Yahoo! News editorial knowledge, while the Direct PR Plan publishes the submitted text as is. After publication, LINE Yahoo supplies a report covering page views, unique browsers, device ratios, and viewer attributes, which public relations staff can use to shape the next release. Submitted material skews toward new products and AI, while the articles that drew page views leaned toward money, work, housing, family, and health.
