Press coverage guide

How to get press coverage for your business

To get press coverage, give a reporter a story their readers need (news, data or an expert view), pitched in under 200 words to the journalist who covers your topic, with 1 follow-up. That coverage is earned, free and never guaranteed. A page on a named outlet by a date is a paid placement: the median Essentras listing costs $2,167.

Earned or paid

Earned coverage or a paid placement: which route fits?

Earned coverage is a story a journalist chooses to write: you cannot buy it and nobody can promise it. A paid placement is a page you pay for on a named outlet, at a listed price, published with the label the outlet uses. Most businesses use both.

5 routes compared. Request services, the wire and the newspaper rules: their own pages, read 19 Oct 2026. Essentras prices and labels: listings read 19 Oct 2026.

The story

What makes a business story worth covering?

Reporters cover what changes something for their readers. Your launch is news to you; to a reporter it needs at least 1 of these angles.

Something new and specific

A launch, hire, funding round, expansion or partnership, with a date, a figure and the people it affects.

Data nobody else has

A survey of your customers or an analysis of your own numbers. In Cision's 2026 survey, journalists ranked original research, expert access and embargoed information as what they value most in pitches.

An expert view on today's news

When a story breaks in your field, offer a short, quotable explanation the same day. Set alerts on your topic so you see it first.

A local angle

Local outlets cover what affects their area: jobs, openings, events and local people. Lead with the place.

A person at a turning point

A founder story works when it explains a change readers care about, not when it retells the company history.

A trend with proof

Your business as 1 example of a wider shift, backed by figures and other sources a reporter can check.

Pictures and access

Strong images, product samples, a site visit or an event a photographer can shoot can decide whether a story runs.

A date

Tie the story to a season, a law taking effect, an anniversary or an awareness day, so it has a reason to run now.

If you cannot say what is new in 1 sentence, no route fixes it, paid or free. Work on the story before the pitch.

The right person

How do you find the right journalist to pitch?

Pitch the person who covered your topic recently, not the editor-in-chief or a general inbox. In Muck Rack's 2026 survey, 88% of journalists said they delete pitches that miss their beat (as summarized by The PR Net).

  • Search the outlet's site and Google News for your topic, open the bylines and note what each reporter wrote and when.
  • Keep the list short and specific: reporters whose last few stories match your angle beat a long list that does not.
  • Find the address on the outlet itself: the reporter's bio, the staff page, the news desk or a tips form. Many local papers publish a newsroom address.
  • For magazines and trade titles, pitch the section editor named on the masthead or staff page, not the editor-in-chief.
  • Read the reporter's recent work and follow them where they post, so your first line can name a story they wrote.
  • Media databases sell contact lists. A short list you built from recent bylines costs nothing and shows the reporter you read their work.

Step by step

How do you pitch a journalist? 7 steps

The earned route: it costs nothing and only the reporter decides. Run it before, or alongside, any paid route.

  1. 1. Write the news in 1 sentence

    What changed, for whom, and why now. That sentence becomes your subject line and your first line.

  2. 2. Prepare the proof

    A figure with its source, a customer or a result, images a reporter can use, and 1 page on your site with the facts.

  3. 3. Pick the reporter

    Someone who covered your topic in recent months, found from their bylines. Write to 1 person, not a list.

  4. 4. Write under 200 words

    Why it matters to their readers, the proof, who can talk and when. Paste any release below the pitch; do not attach files.

  5. 5. Send it before noon

    In the reporter's time zone, 1 email per reporter. Journalists in Muck Rack's 2026 survey prefer 1-to-1 pitches before noon.

  6. 6. Follow up once, with something new

    A few days later, add a data point, an interview slot or an image the reporter did not have. Then stop.

  7. 7. Make yes easy

    Answer within hours, offer the expert by phone or video, and never ask to approve the story before it runs.

Your own byline

Can you write the article yourself? Op-eds and contributed pieces

Yes, where the outlet takes outside writers: newspaper opinion pages, letters to the editor, and some magazines and trade titles. You write it, an editor decides whether it runs, and readers see it as opinion or a contributor piece.

Newspaper op-eds

A finished argument on a current issue, sent to 1 paper at a time. The Boston Globe asks for about 800 words, exclusive to it; the Chicago Sun-Times asks for 600 to 750 words.

Letters to the editor

A short reply to something the paper published. The Boston Globe asks for 200 words or less, with your name, address and phone number for verification.

Magazine and trade contributions

Some titles take proposals from practitioners. Harvard Business Review lists expertise, evidence, originality, usefulness and good writing as what it looks for, and says a common reason it turns proposals down is findings that are not surprising.

Fee-based member bylines

Forbes Councils and the Fast Company Executive Board are application-based memberships that include publishing bylined articles. Forbes says members select a membership package after approval, Fast Company offers a 2-year package "at a discount", and neither page lists a price. Treat them as paid routes.

The op-ed and letter rules, paper by paper How to pitch and write for magazines

Timing

When should you pitch, and how often should you follow up?

Before noon, on a quiet day

Journalists in Muck Rack's 2026 survey prefer pitches before noon. If big news breaks in your sector that day, send tomorrow.

Months ahead for print magazines

Press Loft, a PR platform, advises that long-lead print magazines work 2 to 6 months ahead, and short-lead outlets 1 to 2 months before a season or event.

The same day for breaking news

An expert reaction is useful on the day a story breaks. A day later, the reporter has filed.

1 follow-up, then stop

Journalists in Muck Rack's 2026 survey prefer 1 timely follow-up. Add something new, and never ask whether they got your email.

Book paid pages early

Paid listings state their window: 3 to 5 business days for Business Insider, 1 to 2 weeks for USA Today, counted in business days and paused while the desk waits on you.

Embargoes need consent

Share news early only with a reporter who agrees to hold it until a set date and time.

Our data

What does paid press coverage cost? Prices by outlet type

A paid placement is not earned coverage: you pay to publish on an outlet you choose. This is what the 3,886 outlets in the Essentras catalog cost on 19 Oct 2026, by outlet type, with how many list a window of 1 week or less and how many carry a label.

  • Turnaround is the listed window: days are business days, and values in hours follow the publisher pages (240 hours reads as 1 to 2 weeks).

What paying does and does not buy

  • A listing that says "no sponsored label" is still paid. Do not present it as coverage a journalist chose.
  • In the US, the FTC says ads that look like editorial content should be readily identifiable as ads, with the disclosure in front of or above the headline (Native Advertising: A Guide for Businesses, December 2015).
  • Google lists buying links for ranking purposes as link spam, and accepts paid links marked rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" (spam policies, last updated 28 Aug 2026).
  • Every Essentras listing states price, turnaround, link policy, index status and label before you pay, includes a draft you approve and a dated screenshot, and is refunded if it does not publish.

Avoid

What mistakes get a pitch ignored?

Pitching off-beat reporters

88% of journalists in Muck Rack's 2026 survey delete pitches that miss their beat.

No news in the first line

If the first sentence is about your mission, the reporter stops before reaching the story.

Hype instead of proof

Superlatives without a figure or a source read as advertising.

Group emails

A visible recipient list tells every reporter they are 1 of many.

Attachments

Paste the text and link the images. Files can be filtered or left unopened.

Following up 3 times

Send 1 follow-up with something new, then stop.

Asking to approve the story

Reporters do not hand copy back to sources for approval. Offer to check facts instead.

Sending the same op-ed to several papers

Opinion editors ask for exclusive submissions. Wait for a no, or the paper's stated window, before you try the next.

Answering requests you cannot answer

A weak, off-topic answer is worse than none, and on Source of Sources off-topic replies get you removed.

Calling a paid page earned

A paid placement is paid. Say so, and keep the label the outlet uses.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get press coverage for my business for free?▾

Pitch the reporters who cover your topic with 1 sentence of news and proof, in under 200 words, and follow up once. Answer journalist requests on free services such as Source of Sources or SourceBottle, and submit an exclusive op-ed to a newspaper. All of these cost $0, and none is guaranteed.

How do I get local media coverage?▾

Lead with the place: local jobs, an opening, an event or local people. Pitch the local reporter or news desk, use the paper's tips address or community calendar, and offer photos. For a paid local page, Patch costs $433 on Essentras, labeled as the listing states.

Can you pay for press coverage?▾

You can pay for a placement: a page on a named outlet at a listed price, published with the label the outlet uses. You cannot pay a journalist to choose your story. A paid placement is not earned coverage, and in the US the FTC says ads that look like editorial content must be identifiable as ads.

How much does press coverage cost?▾

Earned coverage costs $0 plus your time. Request services run from free to $149 a month (Qwoted Pro). A wire release starts at $149 at EIN Presswire. On Essentras, the median listing costs $2,167; Business Insider is $420 and Medium $97 (catalog read 19 Oct 2026).

Do I need a press release to get press coverage?▾

No. Reporters read pitches: a short email that says what is new and why their readers care. A release is useful as the source page you link to, and a wire release gets your text published, not covered.

Is HARO still running?▾

Cision closed Connectively, the platform HARO had become, on 9 Dec 2024, and sold HARO to Featured.com in April 2025, which relaunched it. Its site showed our reader a browser check on 19 Oct 2026, so we could not confirm its current terms. Source of Sources, Qwoted, Featured and SourceBottle were live that day.

How long does it take to get press coverage?▾

Earned coverage has no date: a reporter decides if and when. The Boston Globe and the Chicago Sun-Times say to assume an op-ed was not picked after 10 business days. A paid placement runs in its listed window, for example 3 to 5 business days on Business Insider.

How many times should I follow up with a journalist?▾

Once. Journalists in Muck Rack's 2026 survey prefer 1 timely follow-up. Make it add something, such as a new figure, an interview slot or an image, and never ask whether they received your email.

What is the difference between earned and paid media?▾

Earned media is coverage a journalist chooses to publish, at no cost to you and with no promise. Paid media is space you buy, from ads to placements on named outlets, at a stated price and with the label the outlet uses. Readers should be able to tell which is which.

Next steps

    Write the news in 1 sentence

    If it does not fit, rework the angle first: data, a local hook or an expert view.

  2. 02

    Build a short list of reporters

    From bylines on your topic in recent months, with a story you can name for each.

  3. 03

    Pitch, and sign up as a source

    Send under 200 words before noon, and answer 1 or 2 request services' queries in your field.

  4. 04

    Write 1 piece under your own name

    An exclusive op-ed to 1 paper, or a proposal to a magazine that takes contributors.

  5. 05

    Add a paid page only where you need certainty

    Pick the outlet, read the label, and approve the draft. It is paid, and you say so.

Need a page on a named outlet by a date?

Business Insider $420, 3 to 5 business days. The listing states: "Published as a standard editorial article, with no sponsored label." Draft approved by you; refunded if it does not publish.
