Editorial Guidelines
The following editorial guidelines are to help you understand what
we accept and don't accept in the push1 news network.
Before you submit a release read this page
first.
Requirements for press releases:
1. Provide information that can be used as reliable and must not distort the truth.
2. Written as a news announcement and not as an advertisement. This means you cannot write copy that attempts to sell something to the reader. Remember, a news release is meant to inform the public (consumers, bloggers, and journalists) of a newsworthy event. You cannot say things like "Do you need...", or "If you want to...", or "Your company can...", or anything specifically directed to the reader.
You may use quotes to convey your purpose, mission, and message. For example: "We are very excited to have Ms. Jane Smith join our company and look forward to her contributions to our education, research and economic development missions," said Mr. John Smith of Acme, Inc.)
If your submission reads like an advertisement, it will be unpublished until it's fixed.
3. Must not be an article, open letter, or reader opinion piece. News informs the public of an event, while articles try to educate the reader on a matter.
4. Should be newsworthy. Not everything that happens to your organization requires a press release. Maintaining credibility with your customers and the media is very important.
5. Use proper English, spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization and sentence structure.
6. Must not contain information on: hacking/cracking content, auto-surf program or promotion, bomb creation, support for terrorism / radicalism / religious fanaticism, illicit drugs or drug paraphernalia, steroid use or advocacy, weapon / firearms / ammunition.
7. Must not contain or promote hate or violence-oriented, suggest racial intolerance, advocate against any individual, have insulting-obscene-degrading tone, or contain profanity.
8. Must NOT contain any information that is a violation of any law, be considered defamatory, libelous, or infringes on the legal rights of others.
9. Must NOT promote a lawsuit or settlement and/or calculated to be sensational and damaging. We still accept news releases from law firms promoting new hires, new practice ares, new office locations, etc.
10. DUPLICATES and Templates: Must NOT be a submission of the exact or substantially similar news release as one that you already submitted. Some members have submitted the same news release multiple times with only a few words changed in the headline or body -- we reject these and ban members who engage in this practice.
11. Must not promote a website that offers no unique content or information. This means we do not accept news releases that promote MLM businesses, or affiliate websites.
