Publisher guide · News
News guest posting sites.
Choose the news audience and publication format that fit your story. Compare general news, local and regional media, and press-release distribution as distinct placement options.
For brands, communications teams and agencies planning a company announcement, a local story or an expert contribution to a news audience.
Start with the reader
Find your angle in news.
Local & regional news
Build the story around a real connection to the publication’s area: a business opening, local research, community activity or a relevant regional issue.
General news
Give a broad audience a clear reason to care. Check the available section and format: a listed media opportunity does not promise independent newsroom coverage.
Press-release distribution
Publish or distribute an announcement under the package’s terms. Confirm destinations, syndication, link treatment and any promised delivery details separately.

From topic to a useful article
A local news angle needs a local connection.
A good brief makes the connection between your expertise and the reader’s needs clear before a publisher is selected.
See how to request a placementBefore you shortlist
Three checks that make the choice clearer.
Distinguish coverage from distribution
An independent editorial story, a paid article and a syndicated release are different outcomes. A listing on a familiar domain does not make them interchangeable.
Inspect the publication destination
Ask which section or subdomain hosts the article and whether it is an original publication or a syndicated copy. Confirm the format, label and publisher conditions.
Define delivery before publication
Agree on the selected outlet or package, content approval, estimated timing and link treatment. Search indexing, rankings and audience response are separate from publishing the article.
Questions before you choose
News placement questions
Do news websites accept guest posts?
Some news publications offer contributor articles, sponsored stories or other paid formats. Requirements vary by outlet. This page shows bookable opportunities through SEOlutions, not a promise that each newsroom accepts unsolicited guest posts.
Is a paid media placement the same as earned news coverage?
No. Paid placements are arranged under agreed commercial and editorial terms. Earned coverage is independently selected by a newsroom. Confirm the format and disclosure requirements for the specific opportunity.
Is press-release distribution included in the counts?
Yes. The total includes the portal’s General News, Local & Regional, and Press Release Distribution categories. Each category has its own count and inventory link so you can compare the formats separately. An offer can be a package, not a single publisher.
Will publication mean inclusion in Google News?
Publication through the portal does not guarantee inclusion in Google News, search indexing, a ranking or traffic. Evaluate the publication itself and confirm the delivery terms independently of search visibility.
