How to submit a press release to news sites

The usual steps:

1. Choose a wire and package (network, outlets, price). See how to choose a distribution service.
2. Paste your headline and body, and add links.
3. Add the contact block: company name, contact name, email, website, city and country. Many wires print it at the bottom.
4. Pick categories (industry, topic), usually one to five.
5. Upload a logo or image if supported.
6. Choose the release time or send immediately.
7. Pay and submit. The wire's editors review it, may ask for edits, then distribute.

With Citable, these happen on one order page: you pay with an email, write or import the release (or draft it with AI), add the contact block and one to five categories, and submit. The release goes to the wire, and every live link shows on your order page as it appears.

Find the reporters who cover your topic at the outlets you want, and email them individually with a short note and the release in the body. Many outlets list a news tip email or form; use it for genuine news, with the release pasted in.

Free submission sites exist, but few are read by journalists or indexed well, and some are considered low-quality by search engines. They are fine for an extra copy; do not rely on them for reach.

• It is news: something happened, with a date.
• Claims are factual and supportable; no "best", "#1" or guarantees you cannot back.
• A real contact and a working company website.
• No prohibited topics for that wire (often certain financial, medical or adult content).
• Clean formatting: see press release format.
