Create custom post types for press releases, references to external news stories, and events organized and filtered by custom categories.

== Description ==

This plugin creates custom post types for Press Releases, Events and News Stories, three things a standard PR site needs.  This “Xtended” version adds the ability to organize each of these things by categories (ex: “print,” “television,” “radio,” “interview” etc.,) and new shortcodes that allow readers to filter the Press Releases, Events, and News Stories by those categories.

Note: The original “Press, News, Events” plugin in the WordPress directory has not been updated it in over two years. - kmhcreative
