Submitting a news release is easy. Before you submit, be sure you have the following elements of your news release developed: headline, sub headline, contact name, email and phone number, a website landing page where reporters and editors can get additional information, images that help to tell your message in a visual platform, and, of course the news release with approximately 400 words.
