CorporatePRwire’s editorial staff reviews all press releases before distribution to ensure that content is newsworthy and in an acceptable press release format. Attention to the following guidelines will help your press release get speedy approval and distribution on our platform. CorporatePRwire press releases must contain a clear, timely and newsworthy angle and be free of advertising hype, direct address and spam. Press releases should incorporate the following features/qualities:

Acceptable Content

Common news angles include timely information about a new product or service, a business expansion or recent event, an organizational milestone like an anniversary or award or the issuance of a tip sheet or expert opinion on a topic currently in the news. The news announcement must be clearly stated in the headline.

Legal Press Release

We require a case number, court of record, complaint number or other sufficient documentation for all press releases referencing legal action or criminal matters.

Contact Information

CorporatePRwire press releases must contain a valid contact name, phone number, and e-mail address in the contact information.

PR Length

Press releases should be between 400 and 900 words. The length of your release directly affects its distribution, and press releases that are overly short or long may have trouble being indexed in the search engines. The news Summary should also be limited to 1 or 2 sentences.

Grammar and Spelling

Press releases should be free of spelling and grammatical errors, and should be written entirely in English. Although jargon and acronyms are commonplace in natural language, make sure to include definitions for industry jargon so the average person can understand as well.

Press Release Formatting

Press releases cannot contain HTML tags and other formatting such as non-standard characters, tables or forced line breaks. Releases also should not be written partially or entirely in all capital letters. Before submitting your release, please ensure all links in your release are fully functional. If your website is not available or fully functional at the time of editorial review, you will need to remove the links from your release, or wait until the website is in operation to submit.

News Source

CorporatePRwire requires a clear news source be identified in the headline. The news source is the company or organization that is issuing the release. If your agency, firm or business is distributing on behalf of a client, then the source would be the client’s company or organization’s name. It should also be clear how that company or organization relates to the news announcement.

Accepted File Types

We only accept releases containing links or attachments with the following extensions: .jpeg, .png, pdf, and doc

CorporatePRwire does not distribute:

Crypto Currency

We don’t accept unlisted crypto related releases. All CryptoAssets must be listed on CoinMarketCap as a Tracked Listing or ICO.

Advertisements

If your press release is primarily aimed at selling a product or service, then it is an advertisement and not a press release. A good press release informs the media and the general public about a newsworthy topic. If the primary purpose of the document is to sell without any other newsworthy element, then it will be denied publication.

Fabrication

Fabrication of information presented as fact is strictly prohibited on CorporatePRwire. Falsifying information presented as fact will result in immediate deplatforming.

Sexually Explicit Content

To ensure the integrity of our service for all, CorporatePRwire does not accept content about sexually explicit material or products. Press releases should not contain references or links to explicitly sexual material, illegal material or profane language. Please note that all 18-and-older Web sites are considered sexually explicit.

SPAM Link

Please limit your link count to 1 per 100 words. This policy is in place to protect the value of the links in a press release and the value of links within the CorporatePRwire network.

Duplicate Content

A press release can only be distributed once through CorporatePRwire after that we will distribute our partners. In addition, a significant majority of each press release must be original content. Templated content is not permitted.

Intent to Harm

CorporatePRwire does not distribute content intended to harm or exact revenge upon an individual or group. This content is defined as anything deemed intended to: incite, advocate or express hatred, bigotry, racism or gratuitous violence; promote personal opinions attacking an individual or group; maliciously affect a company’s stock; or stalk, defame, defraud, degrade, shame or victimize an individual or group.

Unauthorized Ticker Symbols

While we encourage our clients to use any ticker symbols they are authorized to use in their press releases, we will need to receive the proper authorization from the source company for each ticker symbol used.
