!

Embargoes must include date, time, and time zone in the first message.

X

Coverage, timing, wording, placement, and links are never guaranteed by submission.

Guidance

Check names, titles, facts, images, and links before sending.

If something is materially wrong, explain the factual issue clearly.

X

Updated announcements are not treated as a way to rewrite published editorial coverage.

Include source URLs that help verify claims.

!

Useful reference links may still be omitted from the published story.

What should be included in a submission?
