Release Guidelines
AnswerStat
magazine welcomes all press releases which are of potential interest to our
readers. This document is provided so that you can write your press
release for maximum impact, with the greatest chance of being accepted for
publication.
General Guidelines:
For your press release, follow the adage that "less is more."
Submissions should be 200 words or less.
Headline: The headline should read like a news headline: concise, catchy, and
factual - not self congratulatory nor egocentric.
Copy:
The
copy should read like a news article with some optional subtle publicity
sprinkled in. Over the top self-promotion or unabashed hype is not taken
seriously nor accepted by our readers. Do not capitalize text nor use
bold, italic, or underline formatting.
Editing: Press releases will be edited for both content and length, as needed,
to meet these goals and obtain maximum interest; this is at the sole
discretion of AnswerStat magazine. Not all
submissions can be used.
Vendor Press Releases: Vendor press releases will be judged on
content and reader interest, irrespective of the vendor's advertising
commitment. It is, however, pragmatic to note that Connections' advertisers
advertise because readers respond. It
follows that readers would be most interested in news from those same
vendors.
Online:
Your press releases will be included on our
newsfeed and
the news section
of this site.
Submission: All press releases must be
submitted via email and should be attached as a Microsoft Word
document. Email all submissions to dehaan@answerstat.com.
Mailed and faxed articles will not be considered. The
submission deadline is firm.
