Who are ‘The Press’?

The press originally referred to printed newspapers and magazines. But these days the press is a very broad church; modern news publishers now operate across print, digital (websites), social, video and even TV through platforms like YouTube.

Talk To The Press and our parent company SWNS supply content to all of these platforms – we package our material in multiple formats to suit our clients’ needs. We have editors, reporters, photographers, videographers and digital publishing experts covering every stage of the process. So you can be rest assured that your story will be delivered to the right people, in the right format, at the right time.

How our service helps you deal with The Press

Dealing with the press can be a daunting prospect, but we have 50 years of experience in finding, packaging and selling unique stories to global news publications.

Hundreds of journalists have passed through our doors over the last five decades and, as a result, we now have former staff working in senior positions across the UK national media. That’s why we can always pick up the phone to the right person and help solve your problem, whether that’s placing a story, dealing with unwanted press attention, or setting the record straight.

As well as helping you find the right publication to sell your story to, whether that is a tabloid newspaper or website, a broadsheet title or a women’s magazine, we will ensure you get the highest possible fee when you sell your story.

To start the process, fill in the story form opposite. Anything you send us will be fully confidential, until you tell us otherwise. Nothing will be printed without your permission.

We are often asked ‘Can I sell a story to the press more than once’ and the answer is yes. We sell stories multiple times, generating maximum coverage and earnings (whilst keeping control of your story to prevent publications using it without permission, and without paying you for it!).

We sell stories to national newspapers and women’s magazines, as well as television programmes such as Good Morning Britain, ITV News and This Morning. Selling a story through us is completely free – we do not charge you for our services (we are paid by the industry for finding and writing your stories on behalf of the publications).

Fill out our story valuation form to the right.  There is no obligation and our service is completely free.  Nothing will be used without your permission.  You only need to give us the basic points of your story at this stage (it’s for a valuation estimate only) so just a few lines will do.
