[Robbien]

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- September 05, 2006 -- California News Tech (OTCBB: CNTE), a leading technology company, reported today that research collected at www.PublicMemory.com during the month of July shows that Republican candidates running for office in 2006 had the advantage over Democrats in terms of mentions in national and local news coverage.

Recently, the Pentagon has highlighted the importance of this type of media research in politics by announcing that they are seeking to launch a major $20 million project to monitor the tone of Iraq news stories filed by US and foreign media. As reported by the Associated Press, the project will rate the tone (positive, negative or neutral) and scope of media coverage on Iraq.

Bringing this kind of powerful tool to a wide base of consumers, Public Memory™, available from California News Tech, lets users research the net like never before. It offers results in real time, with spiders tracking media content three times a day. Users can customize keyword and phrase searches, grouping their entries by issue. They can also specify their search domain with a list of the URLs that matter to them so they get the content they want. Results are then displayed three ways: up to date article headlines, keyword and phrase counts, and customizable graphs. These results can then be distributed either as links to PublicMemory.com, or as XML headline feeds.
