What is the best way to get a newspaper to write an article about my business?
Send a press release to the editor or the newsdesk but you are probably best to start with local publications. It is unlikely they will print it unless there is a “story” – for instance, your company is being relaunched or has made a certain benchmark profit or you have moved to new premises with a hope to expand. If it is simply the company you want advertising then call your local paper’s advertising office and for a fee depending on how big you want the advert, they will do a mock-up for you and with your permission, print it in the next available edition. Start with your local paper, it is unlikely with editorial space a national will have room unless you have a very interesting story behind your business.
