media releasesHow to Submit a News Release
to be Disseminated or Posted
on the Sources Web Site


Releases should be submitted by E-mail to

  1. Your release should be in ordinary text format. ASCII-text files are preferable; Rich Text (RTF), Microsoft Word (.doc) files and WordPerfect files (.wpd) are also acceptable. Releases should not exceed 900 words in length. Releases should not include photographs, images, attachments to be sent out, or other enhancements. Your release may contain a link to images or other text on your Web site, or a link to your Sources listing.
  2. Please paste the text of your release directly into the body of your E-mail. Alternatively, you can also send your Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect file as an attachment as long as the size of your file does not exceed 300KB. Please do not send other file formats (e.g. PDF, HTML, TIF, JPG, EPS) or files larger than 300KB.
  3. Include necessary information in your E-mail to Sources, including:
    + The name and number of a contact person we can call if there are questions about the release you are sending us;
    + The name of the sponsoring organization (a link to your Sources listing will be added to the bottom of your release);
    + The date the release is to be made public. Please send releases to be disseminated at least 24 hours in advance, and releases to be posted 48 hours in advance. We will try to accommodate last-minute releases where possible, but to be sure your release gets out on time, please give us sufficient time to process your release.
  4. Please note that when you are submitting a news release that is one of your four free postings as a Sources listee, the release must be about your own organization or company; the privilege of posting releases at no cost is not transferable to clients or friends.
