DFP Newswire
DFP Newswire is the distribution infrastructure for Northern California's interconnected inland corridor — from the San Joaquin Valley through Contra Costa, Solano, and the Alameda Tri-Valley. One wire. The journalists who cover these communities already read it.
All paid tiers include editorial review, public archive, and RSS distribution.
Verified nonprofits, school districts, and government agencies may submit at no cost. Includes standard wire listing and RSS distribution. Allow up to 72 hours for review.
Select the distribution level that fits your organization. Paid tiers use Stripe's secure checkout.
After payment you're redirected to our submission form. Enter headline, body, contact info, and any embargo details.
DFP editors review for accuracy and completeness. Releases that conflict with editorial standards are declined with a full refund.
Your release goes live on DFP Newswire, enters the RSS feed, and is distributed to aggregators and our journalist list.
Every release enters our RSS ecosystem — feeding directly into the tools journalists use to monitor beats.
Purchasing wire distribution does not affect, pause, or alter active DFP reporting. DFP maintains full editorial independence on all investigations. The Investigation Response tier gives organizations a formal, archived voice alongside our coverage — it does not constitute a retraction, correction, or editorial endorsement. DFP editors may add a brief journalistic context note to any release at their discretion.
Yes. Releases containing demonstrably false statements, harassment, or content violating our editorial standards will be declined. Declined releases receive a full refund.
Standard: 24 business hours. Premium: same business day. Investigation Response: 4 hours. Community/Free: up to 72 hours.
Specify your embargo date in the submission form. DFP will hold the release until that time. Embargoes are honored but not guaranteed for Community tier.
