Submit a Press Release to PQR News — Distribution

Quick answer: A press release on PQR News is a company-supplied announcement — a launch, milestone, hire, funding round or partnership — that we review, clearly label and publish to our news audience. Press release distribution here means reaching engaged readers in a brand-safe, disclosed format rather than a generic newswire blast.

What a press release is

A press release is a formal announcement issued by a company to inform journalists and readers about something new. Unlike sponsored content, which tells your story at length, a release leads with the news: what happened, who is involved, when, and why it matters. On PQR News it is published as a clearly labelled announcement, so readers can tell company-supplied news from our own independent reporting at a glance.

What press release distribution on PQR News includes

• Publishing your release as a labelled announcement to our audience.
• An editorial check for basic accuracy, clarity and compliance before it goes live.
• A real readership of people who follow news and want the context behind it.
• Clear disclosure in line with the FTC endorsement guidelines.
• Optional amplification alongside advertising or a partnership.

How to submit a press release

1. Prepare your release — lead with the news, include the essential facts and a quote.
2. Send it to us via the contact page or partners@pqrnews.com, noting any embargo.
3. We review it for accuracy and compliance and confirm placement and timing.
4. We publish and label it as a company-supplied announcement.

What to include in your release

• A specific headline that states the news, not a slogan.
• The essential facts up top: what, who, when, where and why it matters.
• At least one quote from a named spokesperson.
• Concrete, verifiable details rather than vague claims.
• Relevant links, an image or logo, and a contact for follow-up.

When to send your announcement

Time your release to the news itself — a launch going live, a round closing, a partnership signed, an event opening. Send it ahead with a clear embargo if you need coordinated timing. Announcements work best when the news is genuinely new and the details are locked; a release that has to be corrected afterward costs more attention than it earns.

Press release vs sponsored content vs editorial

These three get confused, so here is the distinction on PQR News:

• Press release — your labelled, news-focused announcement. This page.
• Sponsored content — a longer labelled article that tells your story in depth.
• Independent editorial — our own reporting, decided by the newsroom and never for sale.

Many teams pair a release for the news with sponsored content for the story, and cover both in a partnership.

Pricing

Press release distribution is priced by scope, format and placement rather than a single flat fee, because a standalone announcement and a launch campaign are very different jobs. Tell us what you are announcing and we will share current rates and turnaround. Request a quote to start.

What we will not publish

• Misleading claims, fake urgency or unverifiable statistics.
• Releases dressed up to imitate our independent reporting.
• Announcements used as a vehicle to sell undisclosed or disguised links.
• Anything we cannot label honestly.
