What we publish
Rising News is focused on people in business. We are particularly interested in:
- Appointments and promotions
- New hires and career moves
- Founders and entrepreneurs
- Teams and department launches
- Interviews and profiles
- Professional milestones
- People-led business growth stories
- Partnerships, funding or company news where there is a clear people or team angle
The person or people involved should be central to the story. Rising News is not intended to be a general press-release distribution service.
What happens after you submit?
Free submissions
Your story enters our standard editorial consideration process.
Our editors will decide whether the story is suitable for Rising News. Because this is a free service, we do not guarantee how quickly a submission will be reviewed or whether it will be published.
Press Releases
Once payment and all required material have been received, your submission enters our priority review queue.
An editor will review the story and may edit the headline, introduction, structure or promotional wording to meet Rising News editorial standards.
If accepted, we will publish the article and send you the live link.
If we decide the submission is not suitable for publication, the £59 fee will be refunded in full.
Our editorial independence
Whether you submit for free or use the paid service, the same editorial standards apply.
Payment buys priority access to our editorial review process. It does not buy editorial control or guaranteed publication. Rising News retains the final decision on:
- whether a story is accepted;
- the final headline;
- wording and editing;
- images;
- publication timing;
- category;
- placement; and
- whether an article is subsequently corrected or updated.
This applies equally to submissions from businesses, PR agencies, freelancers and organisations connected to the people behind Rising News
