NEW YORK, April 13, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MUNCmedia announced today the
appointment of Douglas A. Ventola as Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer.

Previously, Ventola held the position of Senior Vice President at NASDAQ OMX,
heading up their Global Corporate Services Division. In that role, he led a
globally disbursed team of over 150 people through the economic crisis while
producing a 3X revenue growth across three business verticals and successfully
acquiring and integrating multiple businesses on behalf of NASDAQ OMX.
Additionally, Ventola was responsible for the development of new products and
services.

Prior to NASDAQ OMX, Ventola was CFO for Shareholder.com, a leading provider and
innovator in shareholder communications, institutional intelligence and
executive advisory services to over 2,000 publicly traded companies worldwide.
Shareholder.com was acquired by NASDAQ OMX in 2006. Preceding Shareholder.com,
Ventola served as Worldwide Controller for Key3Media, formerly Ziff-Davis
Events, producers of the mega-technology conference COMDEX.

In addition to overseeing MUNCmedia's day-to-day financial operations, Ventola
will be responsible for the financial strategy of the company as they are coming
off their most successful quarter.

"Since 2008, we have enjoyed 100% revenue growth quarter over quarter," said
Matthew Bird, CEO, MUNCmedia. "Such success demands that we bring in an
executive with true acumen towards the unique attributes of a fast-growing,
innovative organization like ours. Doug's financial leadership guided
Shareholder.com out of the dot-com bubble and NASDAQ OMX Corporate Services
through the height of the recent crisis. He is an essential addition to our
expanding team," finished Bird.

"When I first came to know MUNCmedia two years ago, I was immediately impressed
with their innovative approach to problem solving through technology," said
Ventola. "One example...the demise of analyst coverage has seriously affected
many public companies. In response, MUNCmedia provides a means for these
companies to tap into that valuable capital pool known as the Retail Investor. 
I am very proud to be part of a company that is leading the pack in providing
solutions for companies in today's evolving landscape."
