Community Newswire
If you are looking to turn your community news into news headlines - Community Newswire is a free news service to help charities and voluntary organisations gain valuable media coverage.
Press releases can be sent by email to communitynewswire@mediatrust.org or uploaded at www.communitynewswire.org.
The release is then written up into a news story by a Press Association journalist - improving the chances of a newspaper or news station picking it up. These stories are then sent out via the Press Association newswire to thousands of journalists each day.
"Community Newswire do an excellent job by delivering practical advice to voluntary and charity organisations which means that by the time they engage with the media both sides start with a better understanding of each other." Stephen Mitchell, Deputy Director, BBC News & Head of Programmes, BBC News
As part of the service, Community Newswire offer help with press release writing - if you need some advice or support email joannai@mediatrust.org and as Community Newswire Manager, she will be happy to help.
Community Newswire is a run by Media Trust in partnership with The Press Association and is funded by the Office of the Third Sector.
