Submitting a press release

Before writing a press release or submitting the information below, consider the following questions:

  • Is this newsworthy?
  • Is the news of interest to "insiders" only or does it have a wider appeal?
  • Is this better suited for a direct-mail piece or advertising, a letter or memo to the people involved, or an item in your company newsletter?
If a press release makes sense, consider the following suggestions:

  • Write clearly and get to the point early.
  • Keep your release as short as possible.
  • Lead with news not advertising.
  • After sending the release, follow up with a phone call or a note.
  • Editors make the final decision on what is published based on a variety of factors.
  • The Joplin Globe strives to publish as much community and business information as possible. If your information is not published this time, please continue to submit.
