Do news sites accept promotional content?

Rarely, and never when it reads as promotional. Most news publishers on the marketplace accept informational or expert-commentary pieces with a natural mention, and will ask for revisions on anything that reads like an advertisement. The listing sets out what each site will and will not run.

Are regional news sites worth considering?

Often, yes. Regional titles cost substantially less than national outlets and carry real local relevance, which matters if your audience is geographically specific. Their audiences are smaller but far more concentrated in one area.

How quickly do news placements go live?

Faster than most categories — news operations publish on a daily cycle and are set up to move quickly. Each listing shows its expected turnaround, and you can filter by it once you create a free account.

News & Media Guest Post Sites.

News and media sites carry some of the strongest authority on the marketplace, and some of the shortest attention spans. A placement here reaches a large audience quickly, then competes with everything published after it.

What a news placement usually costs

News sites sit at the higher end of marketplace pricing. Established outlets have spent years building the authority you are paying for, and they field far more placement requests than smaller blogs, which lets them be selective on both topic and price.

Regional and independent news sites cost considerably less than national outlets while often carrying stronger local relevance. If your audience is geographically specific, a regional title is usually a better trade than a national one at several times the price.

What to look for

Check whether the site publishes anything resembling your topic. General news outlets run business, technology, health, and lifestyle desks, but the standards on each differ, and a piece that suits the lifestyle section will be rejected by the business desk.

Read the sample posts on the listing carefully. News publishers are more likely than most to have firm rules about promotional language, and a draft that reads like an advertisement is the most common reason an order comes back for revision here.

News sites work on a different clock

Turnaround is usually fast — news operations are built to publish daily — but the placement itself ages quickly. A piece tied to a current event has a short window of relevance, while an evergreen explainer keeps earning attention long after publication.

If you have a choice, write for the archive rather than the news cycle. The placement stays live either way, but an evergreen piece is the one people still find months later.
