Press Release Guidelines

The editorial team at UN Media Buzz examines each press release before it is released to ensure it adheres to our established standards and is valuable to the media and other prospective readers. Releases sent to UN media buzz must have a newsworthy angle, be removed from advertising and promotion, and follow the suggested AP format. The approval process will be expedited, thereby preventing unnecessary delays.

Content requirements

The following requirements must be met for press releases to be considered for publication on this website. Before submitting your release to our editing staff, please make sure that it satisfies the following standards:

Newsworthiness

A newsworthy event, product, or service must be the subject of every press release. We do not accept releases that are only intended for marketing or advertising. The content must be supported by accurate data and provide the reader with real value.

Examples of newsworthy content include but are not limited to:

  • New company product launches, website, hire, or personnel changes.
  • Upcoming industry events such as trade shows, conferences, seminars, etc.
  • Announcements of a Whitepaper release or new research study.
  • Company Awards or Industry recognition.
  • Store openings or company event announcements.
  • Partnerships or deals between companies.
  • New book, song or art installation announcement.
  • Political Releases: Politically oriented releases will only be considered if they use civil and moderate political language. If the client enters the first-paragraph statement along the lines of, "The following is an open letter from X addressing Y," then political-oriented opinion editorial releases may also be considered.
  • Fact - checked

    The accuracy of every news release submitted to the website must be verified. We do not personally verify the information contained in the releases. Therefore, before it is submitted to UN Media Buzz, the content must be free of errors and false statements. Include the case number, court name, and supporting documents with your press release if it pertains to legal or political problems.

    Copyrighted Content

    All work must be original and unpublished. We do not allow the distribution of news articles on our website. We will reject the press release if it contains any text or graphics (image/videos/audio) that are copyrighted or that are copied from another source. All content in your release that contains quotes or facts must be properly cited to the sources. You must encapsulate any direct quotes in quotation marks. It is required that all links are active and they contain acceptable extensions (jpeg, png, gif, tiff, bmp, pdf, doc*, xl*, ps, rtf, ppt, mpeg, mp3, and mov only). Keep links to a minimum.

    Maintain Objectivity

    Press releases from UN Media Buzz should not contain hype flags or first-person/direct addresses (such as "you," "I," "us," etc.) unless they are part of a quotation from a company or organization's spokesperson. A direct address may indicate that the content is not a news release but an advertisement. The validity of your news release will also be called into question by hype flags like exclamation marks, exaggerated product/service promises, "AMAZING" written next to a product or service's name, or the use of capital letters to emphasize a point.

    Contact Information

    Specify the individual or business who is submitting the news release by name. You must provide their contact information, such as their phone number and/or email address. Press releases won't be allowed to be distributed if they don't include this information. If possible, the website of the company or individual should be included

    Correct Grammar and Spelling

    The best press releases are simple, succinct, and have a concrete news angle. Avoid using jargon and superlatives, and do not try to explain too much because these things will undermine rather than strengthen your statement. Before submitting your release, carefully proofread your draft to ensure that readers will understand who you are and your announcement's main idea by the introductory paragraph's conclusion. A single spelling error can ultimately damage your credibility.

    Word Count

    All press releases must be between 300 and 800 words in length. The news summary included with the release must also be no longer than two sentences. Your release's length directly impacts how widely it is distributed, and press releases that are excessively short or lengthy may have difficulty getting indexed by search engines.

    Format guidelines

    A distinguishing heading and subheading

    a compelling title that draws readers in and makes it obvious what the news is about—is it a product launch? Awards and acclaim? Acquisition or merger?

    Location

    It gives information about your location and the source of your news.

    Powerful Lead
