How To Get Your News in the Local Press

Every business owner knows the value of great editorial coverage. A well-placed article in a newspaper or magazine can significantly raise your business's profile. But navigating the world of press and media can feel overwhelming if you don’t know where to start.

At thebestof Sudbury’s Networking & Nibbles Evening this November, join us for an evening of networking, delicious pizzas, and drinks, along with a fantastic opportunity to learn from Duncan Bradley, Deputy Editor of the Suffolk Free Press. Duncan will share insider tips on how to maximise your chances of getting your press release noticed and featured in the local paper. If you’ve ever wondered how to get your business into the press, this is the perfect chance to ask your questions directly to a seasoned journalist.

• Q&A Session: Duncan will be answering your pre-submitted questions about print media, editorial practices, press releases, deadlines, and more. Don’t miss this chance to find out how to maximise your chances of getting your stories in the paper. 

To make the most of this opportunity, please send your questions to Penny in advance, and Duncan will address them on the night. There will also be time for live questions from the floor.
