Submit a Calgary Press Release
A transparent, human-reviewed way for Calgary organizations to submit paid press-release material.
Who may submit
Calgary businesses, non-profits, community groups, public organizations and event organizers may submit a paid press release for human review. The material must have a clear Calgary connection. Payment does not guarantee acceptance, endorsement, separate news coverage or favourable treatment.
What to include
Include the organization name, website and contact person; accurate copy with dates, locations, names and Calgary relevance; supporting links; and any necessary disclosure of a commercial relationship. Images must include captions, credits and confirmation that the submitter has the right to provide them.
Review and publication
A person reviews every submission. Calgary News Live may verify facts, request evidence, edit for clarity and house style, add disclosures, reject the material or refer a newsworthy matter for independent editorial consideration. Accepted material is clearly labelled “Paid Press Release.”
Links and SEO
This service does not promise a backlink, search ranking, indexing or any other SEO result. Links may be removed or marked with appropriate sponsored or nofollow attributes.
Temporary introductory price
Eligible submissions may start at $0.99 during the introductory period. The offer does not include writing, extensive editing, priority placement, guaranteed timing, guaranteed links or later discretionary revisions. The final charge and scope are confirmed before publication, and website booking and payment remain inactive.
Corrections and later revisions
Factual concerns are reviewed under the Corrections Policy. A fee may apply only to optional changes requested after publication, never to correcting a factual error by Calgary News Live.
How to submit
Until a website portal is approved and opened, email business@calgarynewslive.ca. Do not email sensitive personal information or material you are not authorized to share.
