Ever.

They pull content automatically from wire distribution networks they've already vetted. So the goal isn't to get noticed - it's to get into the pipe.

Once you know that, the process is actually simple:

Write it the way a wire reporter would, not like marketing copy.
Dateline, the facts up top, a quote from someone with a real title, zero "world-class" or "revolutionary" language.

That kind of copy gets filtered out before a human ever sees it.

If your news touches a public company: a partner, a client, an integration - put their ticker symbol in on first mention. It sounds minor, but it means your release physically appears on that company's stock page on Yahoo Finance, right in front of the investors already watching it.

Choose a distribution service with verified reach into both outlets specifically. A lot of cheap "we syndicate everywhere" services don't actually have that access, and you won't find out until your release is nowhere to be found.

And don't stop at publication. Share the live URL, not your homepage. Drop it into the investor update. Put it in the deck. The placement itself does very little sitting on a wire page, the value comes from what you do with it afterward.

If you're after an actual journalist writing about you unprompted, that's a different game entirely: original data, a market-moving story, a pitch to one specific reporter.

No distribution budget buys that. Know which path you're on before you spend money on the wrong one.

Most press releases die in the first sentence. 📰

Not because the news is bad, because the structure buries it.

We studied what actually gets press releases picked up by journalists and broke it down into 12 announcement types, funding rounds, product launches, executive hires, partnerships, crisis statements, and more.

The pattern that showed up again and again: the releases that get covered lead with the most specific, citable fact they have. The ones that don't, open with company backstory and adjectives nobody quotes.

A few quick examples 👇
🚀 Product launch → lead with the spec, not "we're excited to announce"
💰 Funding round → lead with the dollar amount + investor name
🏆 Award → lead with who gave it and why, not your company name
⚠️ Crisis statement → resolution first, apology last

We annotated all 12 types with real examples: what works, the most common mistake, and one technique to steal for your next release.

Your press release quote can make or break editorial pick-up.

Food critics use your quote to build their story angle. If it reads like marketing copy, they move on.

If it sounds like you, they run with it.

Nobody tells you this when you write your first press release. 👇

The format looks simple. Headline. A few paragraphs. Send.

But here's what actually gets releases ignored:
❌ Opening with company history instead of the news
❌ Quotes that say absolutely nothing - "We are excited to begin this next chapter"
❌ Promotional language in every sentence - journalists are trained to skip it reflexively
❌ Sending on a Monday or Friday afternoon
❌ Distributing a non-story - no wire service can manufacture editorial interest that isn't there

The fix isn't complicated. Lead with the news. Write a real quote from a named person with a real perspective. Send Tuesday through Thursday, 10am–2pm.
72% of journalists say a compelling quote increases their likelihood of covering a story. 📊 (Cision, 2024)
