Will an AP journalist write about my company?

No. This is a placement in the press release section on apnews.com, carrying your own copy. AP's editorial desks are independent, cannot be bought, and we do not claim otherwise.

Is the placement on apnews.com itself?

Yes, on AP's own domain. You get the live URL when it publishes.

What happens if it does not publish?

Every package specifies a placement count, and your report lists the live URL of each placement. Refunds are available until your first placement publishes, and not after that. If a specific outlet publisher declines your publication, partial refunds may be granted by the PressHalo team. The full terms are in our refund policy.

How to get featured on Associated Press

AP's newsroom does not take company submissions. Announcements appear on apnews.com through its press release partners, which is the route we place through.

The real options

Three ways in, one that works

AP is a newsroom first, and its journalists are not reachable by submission. What apnews.com does carry is a press release section fed by wire partners, and that is a channel a company announcement can genuinely enter.

Approved newswire

How we do it

Your release is filed through a wire partner Associated Press already carries, and appears in the apnews.com press release section under your own headline.

Earned coverage

A journalist decides to write about you. No submission channel, no price, because it is theirs to give. Worth pursuing, impossible to guarantee.

Direct submission

Associated Press runs no public form for company announcements. Sending one has nowhere to arrive.
