You could tweet us, call us or post on our Facebook page, but in truth, the best way to get your news to be considered for inclusion in our e-newsletters is to send it to our newsroom email address: newsroom@bpcdm.com


Please help us to help you by taking a second to ensure that this email address is already on your organization’s press release list.


While we know many of you have relationships with our senior staff writers — and of course we ask you keep them on your release lists — our entire newsroom has access to the newsroom account. This helps ensure that someone will see your release in the event a staff writer is out of the office.


Of course, our writers always appreciate an advance heads-up when your business or organization has news it plans to release. This gives us the best chance to plan for how and where a news item might best fit in the variety of Business Record products we produce. 
 
Your best starting point is always to reach out directly to the staff writer who covers your particular industry, and of course, you can always reach out directly to me as well. To see a list of our staff reporters, the industries they cover and get their contact information, click here >>>
 
If you’re interested in pitching a story idea for a possible article in the weekly Business Record, we typically need a bit more lead time, and for these types of direct pitches, I’d urge you to make direct contact with a staff writer.
Thanks in advance for helping us better cover the Des Moines business community, and if you need anything or have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out my way.

How do I get a story in the Business Record?

 
My first three pieces of advice: Don’t order a news pizza; do know our audience; do understand whom we serve. To understand the types of stories we are looking for, it helps to understand our mission – to help businesses do business better – and that it’s not about you.
