The USA media landscape

Fifty news markets that happen to share a flag

The US has no single media capital. New York holds the networks, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times; Washington holds policy; San Francisco and Los Angeles hold tech and entertainment. Beneath them, the Associated Press, an independent news cooperative founded in 1846, feeds newsrooms in every state, while Reuters, Bloomberg and Dow Jones carry the market-moving side of business news.

Most American news is still local. Metro dailies, alt-weeklies, TV station sites and community networks such as Patch cover one city or county, and for a business opening in Atlanta or hiring in Phoenix that local desk is often the reader who matters most. Many of those newsrooms run with far fewer reporters than they used to, so a clear, locally angled release is something they can genuinely use.

Distribution and coverage are different things. A distributed release puts your announcement on news sites and, on Pro and Ultimate, in Google News, which is what buyers and search engines find when they look you up. A feature in the Journal or on CNBC is earned by pitching a reporter, which we run as a separate digital PR campaign. Most US clients use the first as a foundation and the second when the story is big enough.

Localisation

Sound like you already belong here.

Readers trust what feels local. This is what we change so a American editor reads your release as home news, not a message from head office.

American spelling and AP style
Color, organization, program, center. US editors work to the AP Stylebook, so numerals, job titles and abbreviations written its way read as if a professional sent them.
Dollars up front
Lead with US dollar figures. If the company reports in another currency, give the dollar equivalent and say which exchange rate you used.
US dates and datelines
Nov. 12, 2026 in AP style, not 12 November. Date the release from the US city where the news actually happens (NEW YORK, AUSTIN), not from head office abroad.
A city or state angle
A national release about “expanding in the US” is easy to ignore. “Opening in Denver with 40 hires” is a story for Denver. Write the local version when there is one.
An American voice in the quote
A quote from your US lead, a US customer or a US partner reads as American news. A head-office quote about “the American market” reads as an export brochure.
End with ###
US releases close with ### (sometimes -30-) before the boilerplate and media contact. Editors look for it to know where the story ends.

When to send

Land on the right morning in the USA

Tuesday–Thursday, 8:00–10:00 a.m. Eastern

Most national desks and the wires run on Eastern time, so a morning ET release reaches New York editors as they plan the day, while it is still before dawn in California. If your news is aimed at the West Coast, send later in the morning. Clocks go forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November; Hawaii and most of Arizona don’t change, and Europe changes on different dates, so check the gap if you schedule from abroad.

Avoid

Federal holidays and the long weekends around them, from Memorial Day to Labor Day and Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving week and Black Friday, unless your news is retail: little else gets read.
Mid-December to New Year: inboxes fill and newsrooms run on holiday rotas.
Election days and major political nights: everything else is pushed aside.
Exactly on the hour: scheduled releases pile onto the wires at :00, so we send a few minutes off it.

Rules and disclosure

Go public with confidence, not surprises.

The rules that most often touch a business announcement in the USA, so the news you’re proud of today never becomes a problem tomorrow. A guide, not legal advice: check anything market-sensitive with your adviser.

Public companies: Regulation FD comes first

If you’re SEC-reporting, material information shared with some people must be made public broadly, through a Form 8-K or another method reasonably designed for broad, non-exclusionary distribution. Our distribution is the publicity around your news, not your Reg FD or 8-K channel. Disclose the way your counsel directs, then we time ours to follow.

Offerings and quiet periods

Around an IPO or other registered offering, the securities laws restrict publicity that could be seen as selling the deal. If you’re in registration, talk to your lawyers before any release goes out, including ours.

The FTC watches endorsements and reviews

Under the FTC’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255, revised in 2023), a paid, gifted or family connection between you and anyone praising you must be disclosed clearly. The FTC’s 2024 rule on consumer reviews and testimonials bans fake ones, including AI-generated ones, and allows civil penalties. Claims also need a reasonable basis before you make them.

Customer names and state privacy law

Naming a customer or employee means handling their personal data, and California’s CCPA is one of a growing number of state privacy laws. Get written sign-off on any quote or case study before it goes out.

Who it’s for

Some moments in the USA deserve a headline.

From “who are they?” to vetted

Before: a US prospect searches your name and finds only a foreign homepage. After: a dated, American-written announcement on US news sites that says you’re here, with a US office and a US contact.

The round closes, and the record shows it

Funding news on US sites turns a private milestone into something the next investor, recruit or partner can find and check for themselves.

A new city learns your name

Opening in Austin, hiring in Columbus, a new warehouse outside Atlanta: the local desks report exactly this, and their articles rank for searches in that city.

Your data becomes their headline

An original survey of American consumers or a state-by-state index gives reporters something to cite. It’s the release format most often reused long after launch day.

Completely risk free

The only risk is staying invisible.

You approve every word before anything is distributed.

Every placement is reported with a live URL. We never report a pickup we can't link to.

If your guaranteed placements don't go live and stay indexed, you get a full refund within 90 days.

FAQ

Before you go public in the USA: your questions

Yes. Releases go across our network of 350+ news sites, which includes US titles, and on Pro and Ultimate into Google News. We won’t promise a masthead a package doesn’t list, but the US sites on this page are real: our clients’ releases have run on them, and each one links to the live article.

Not through distribution, and anyone who promises that is selling something else. Those newsrooms don’t run paid releases; coverage there is earned by pitching a reporter a story worth their time. We run that as a digital PR campaign, and we’ll tell you honestly if your story isn’t ready for it yet.

Yes. US releases are written in American English to AP style, with US dates, dollar figures, an honest US dateline and the ### close American editors expect. You approve every word before anything goes out.

No. If the news is material and you’re SEC-reporting, disclose it the way your counsel requires first. We distribute the publicity version afterwards, and can time it to land right behind your disclosure.

Usually between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. Eastern on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, a little later if your audience is on the West Coast. If your news has a set moment, we can hold it under embargo to the minute.

Basic is $131, Pro $345 and Ultimate $1,242 per release, including writing. We price in US dollars, so there’s no conversion if you pay from the US; from abroad, your card provider converts at the day’s rate. Volume plans are available if you have several announcements coming.

You can angle the release for one, and that’s usually where the best results come from: we write the local story, and local upgrades are available on every package. Distribution itself goes across the network, so the local angle is what makes a city desk read it as their news.

It helps in two ways: news coverage of your brand is a trust signal search engines use, and branded searches find real articles instead of nothing. It works best alongside US-relevant links and content, as part of the work rather than a substitute for it.
