How can I submit a press release to newspapers?

Question

I wrote a press release for an upcoming service that our company will be offering and have submitted it to online press release websites. Does anyone know how I can get it published in print editions? I am not talking about the Wall Street Journal or anything like it. My question concerns regional newspapers.

Thanks!

Hi,

Hows it going. Sorry i havnt gotten back to you this week from your last email.  I am about to reply to it right now.  And for the press release info, just google "How to submit a press release" and you will get tons of info. Plus i would contact your local newspapers and get the word straight from them.  Good luck with that.  Funny how i was just reading up on the same thing.

Take care my friend and talk to you again soon.

I would contact the newspapers within your region and see what the process is

Normally, you would fax or e-mail the press release to the newspapers.
