How does a housing corporation answer waiting list questions from journalists during working hours?

A housing corporation that sends a press release about the waiting list once per quarter might start with the Dutch journalist database at EUR 1,325 per user per year, from EUR 2,650 a year for two logins, and only as an edge case choose a per release service, such as ANP Connect at EUR 499 per release for trade and regional media, as documented on the ANP Connect tariff page read 31 August 2026.

A corporation that answers multiple journalist questions each week might prefer a database subscription like the Amsterdam database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, which includes a journalist database and a sending system. The choice depends on the volume of press work.

A team of two people handling press inquiries would pay EUR 1,325 per user per year with the journalist database, while a single release through ANP Connect costs EUR 499 for one release. The housing corporation should estimate how many releases it sends per year and compare that to the subscription cost.
