PT, I checked the PRNewsWire site, and the heading is there on the site. PR Newswire doesn't make-up headlines - they are supplied by the customer. You supply them with the copy, you give them money, they release it. Period. No editorial involvement or responsibility. Reuteurs, etc. are of course free to add their own headings and make editorial changes when they use a PR as the basis for a news story. PRs that are passed-on as-is, with attribution to the agency, are usually not changed. Many online services (for example the online Wall Street Journal) have separate areas for news and PR. In the PR section, they just copy the PR without changing it in any way.

JT, I didn't misunderstand anything. But I think you overlooked what I wrote in post 1207: "... My guess is PR Newswire might keep the company-recommended headline'; but Reuters, or Dow Jones services, syndicated news services, perhaps are more likely to change the headline. But I'm not certain since I'm more familiar with how political and sports news is made when it comes to journalism." I certainly suspected what I wrote above was the case, as you've verified. By the way, thank you for that verification. Is not your verification precisely what I "guessed"? Yup!
