Why It Works
Publish Your News Online Free
Choosing to publish your news online free has four big advantages over wire-syndicated PR — direct inbox access, editorial backlinks, opt-in journalists and human review.
First-Party Pitch Advantage
Wire-syndication press releases land in low-priority feeds journalists rarely read. A direct pitch — addressed to a reporter who covers your beat — lands in their primary inbox. Personalised, beat-matched pitches consistently outperform aggregated wire output in both open rate and reply rate.
SEO & AI Search Visibility
When a journalist quotes or links to your brand in an article, you earn an editorial backlink — the highest-quality signal in Google's ranking system. Editorial coverage is also the primary training source for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, putting your brand directly into AI-generated answers.
Verified, Opt-In Journalist Database
Every journalist in our verified reporter network is active (published in the last 90 days) and opted in to receive pitches in their declared beats. We never scrape or buy lists — which is why journalists actually open mail from our domain instead of marking it as spam.
Editor-Reviewed, Not Auto-Sent
Every free submission is read by a human editor before it leaves our outbox. Releases that look spammy, off-topic, or low-quality get a short revision request — not silently dropped. This is why journalists trust pitches that come from our domain.
Frequently Asked
Free Press Release Distribution FAQ
Is publishing news online really free?
Yes. Submitting your press release through this page is 100% free — no credit card, no subscription, no hidden fees. We monetize through our paid distribution plans (from $89) that publish your story on premium news sites like AP, Yahoo Finance and MarketWatch. The free journalist pitch service is funded by that revenue.
How many journalists will receive my press release?
Free submissions reach approximately 100 journalists matched to your selected industry beat. Want to reach the entire journalist network? Upgrade to a paid plan from $89.
What file formats can I upload?
PDF, DOC and DOCX, up to 3 MB. We recommend a single-page PDF with a clear headline, dateline, 2–3 short paragraphs of news, a quote, and contact details — that's the format journalists scan fastest.
How fast do you send the press release out?
Editorial review takes up to 5 business days. Once approved, your press release is sent to matched journalists within the next business hour. You'll receive a confirmation email with your reference number immediately after submitting. If your content is not approved by our editors, it will not be sent — you'll receive an email explaining what to revise.
Will journalists actually reply to me?
Replies go directly to your email — we never sit in the middle. Reply rates vary considerably by industry, news-worthiness and the quality of your headline; strong, timely, well-written releases routinely receive meaningful journalist interest, while soft launches and product updates get fewer responses.
Can I track which journalists received my pitch?
Free submissions don't include a detailed delivery report — you'll get an aggregate count (e.g., "sent to 100 finance journalists"). Paid plans from $89 include a full placement report with publication links and indexed-on-Google verification.
Do you publish my release on news sites too?
Not on the free tier. The free service only pitches journalists. To publish on AP News, Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, MSN, Benzinga and 850+ news sites — with permanent links and Google indexing — see our paid plans starting at $89.
What industries do you cover?
Technology, SaaS, Finance, Markets, Crypto, Web3, Business, Startups, Healthcare, MedTech, AI, Machine Learning, Entertainment, Media, Real Estate, PropTech, Sustainability, Energy, Consumer, E-commerce, Education, EdTech, plus several niche beats. If you don't see your industry in the dropdown, choose "Other" — our editors will route it manually.
Do you accept AI-generated press releases?
We accept AI-assisted writing, but pure unedited AI output is usually flagged in editorial review and sent back for revisions. Journalists can spot AI boilerplate instantly and don't open it. If you used AI to draft, have a human edit it before submitting.
Is this service available outside the US?
Yes — we have journalists in 14 countries. Our network is strongest in the US, UK and EU but covers Asia-Pacific, Canada, MENA and Latin America too. See the geographic table above for a breakdown.
Will my submission stay private?
Yes. We don't resell journalist databases or your contact details. Submitted press releases are stored encrypted, reviewed by named editors only, and deleted from our system 90 days after distribution unless you're on a paid plan with archive access.
What if my press release is rejected?
You'll get a short editorial note explaining what to change — usually it's missing news angle, weak headline, or off-topic for journalists. You can resubmit the revised version as many times as you need. Free tier has no submission limit.
