Cryptomegaphone accepts professionally prepared press releases from blockchain, fintech, and Web3 organizations. These guidelines outline what companies must follow to ensure accuracy, clarity, compliance, and transparency.
Press releases are paid submissions handled by our commercial partnerships team, not by the editorial newsroom.
1. What Is a Press Release?
A press release is a sponsored announcement created by a company to share official information, such as:
- Funding announcements
- Product launches
- Token listings
- Partnerships
- Roadmap updates
- Exchange integrations
- Leadership changes
- Network upgrades
- Corporate statements
Press releases are not investigative or independent journalism.
2. How Press Releases Are Labeled
To maintain transparency and compliance:
- All press releases are labeled clearly as “Press Release” or “Sponsored Press Release”.
- A disclosure appears at the top of the article.
- A second disclosure appears at the bottom.
- Press releases are placed in a dedicated Press Releases category.
There is no ambiguity — readers always know they are viewing sponsored content.
3. Required Structure for Press Releases
To maintain clarity and professionalism, your press release must include:
✔ 1. Title
Concise and factual — no hype or exaggeration.
✔ 2. Subtitle (optional)
A short supporting line of context.

Should include:
- What is happening
- Why it matters

13. Our Commitment
Press releases support Cryptomegaphone’s mission by enabling companies to share developments with the community. However:

- They are always clearly labeled
- They must meet ethical and legal standards
- The safety of our readers remains our top priority
Transparency and integrity guide everything we do.
