UWire didn't work for us (no coverage), but I'm not sure if that's because of bad timing or what. The challenge with college newspapers is the staff is constantly changing, so you can't as easily follow a particular reporter, gauge their interests, and then pitch them with a slam dunk pitch. However, my guess is that if you could find the email of the appropriate section editor and send them a personalized pitch (i.e. that's clearly not a form letter) followed by a phone call, then you'll have better luck than using any wire distribution service.

Have you ever heard of collegiate presswire? Would you say the same about it as newswire?
