I know of press releases, but how do you get them out to the news media?
I believe your article must meet certain criteria to be considered a press release. Then you must send the article to any newspapers whom you want to run the article.

There are distribution services that will issue your press release for you. They already have established networks with various new media outlets and it's really the best way to get a widespread distribution. Keep in mind there are journalists out there that need to come up with news stories every day, so they look to press releases to get this information. If you are just looking for local exposure, you could skip the press release writing and just contact local media outlets to share your story. In order for your press release to be effective, there are guidelines on how it should be written and of course having something truly newsworthy will help get your release noticed.
