MANDEVILLE, La., March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Newsroom Solutions, LLC will be showcasing Amber Alert delivery powered by Code Amber (http://www.codeamber.org/) at the National Association of Broadcasters and RTNDA's annual conference in Las Vegas, NV, April 18 - 20, 2005.

Newsroom Solutions (http://www.newsroomsolutions.com/), creators of NewsTicker and a leading provider of newsroom software to the television industry, will demonstrate the adaptation of Code Amber's XML feed into ready- to-air graphical Amber Alert templates.

"This partnership enables law enforcement to leverage the power of television's visual medium by getting an image from a photograph to the TV screen quickly," said Drew Hahn, Newsroom's Vice President for Research and Development.

By centralizing the graphic delivery, we've eliminated a major time barrier."

Bryant Harper, President and founder of Code Amber sees this as a full utilization of TV's power to broadcast Amber Alerts. "Our affiliation with every broadcaster makes this a perfect fit for Newsroom Solutions. We cover all 50 states, and Canada and have published over 260 Amber Alerts in the last 2 years."
