Submit A Press Release To The Hartford Courant

Newspapers are valuable in dispersing information contained within press releases.


The Hartford Courant is the largest daily newspaper in Connecticut. As such, it serves as a valuable medium for dispersing the information that is contained within your press release to those within the greater Hartford metropolitan area and throughout the state. The Courant looks to review and edit press releases within one business day and post the information as soon as possible once approved.


Instructions


1. Ensure your press release is 500 words or fewer, cutting if necessary. The Hartford Courant requests that submitted press releases be of that length or shorter.


2. Access the Hartford Courant's website and navigate to the Submission Form page. This may be done by scrolling to the bottom of the homepage and clicking on the "Contact Us" link located at the bottom of the page. From there, click on "this form" under the News subhead and then access the form linked to in the third bullet form for press releases.


3. If the release will not pertain to the entire state of Connecticut, determine which of the following regions best fits the content: Middletown/Shoreline, Greater New Britain, Greater Enfield, Eastern Connecticut, Farmington Valley or Greater Hartford.


4. Ensure you agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy prior to submitting. Links for each of these may be found on that same Web page.
