“When you find press releases on an organization’s own website without a specific author …, you can assume the organization to be the author. … Press releases may also be indexed on commercial distribution services, such as PRNewswire. However, PR Newswire is not the author of the release; it is the publisher—the author is actually indicated at the bottom of the release” (Lee, 2010, para. 2-3).
