If you have a significant news item you want to share through a press release, you can consider submitting the press release through one of several wires online. However, these services generally charge a fee. If you only want the press release to go to the Associated Press (AP), you can simply submit the press release to AP directly.
Instructions
1. Determine if your press release needs to go to a specific department. Other than the main department, the Associated Press has four additional sub-departments. They include sports, arts and entertainment, business news, lifestyle and news features.
2. Email your press release in the body of an email to info@ap.org. If the release falls into one of the sub-departments, include the department in the subject line or in the body of the email.
3. Mail your press release, if you'd prefer, to the AP's headquarters. The address is:
Associated Press
450 W. 33rd St.
New York, New York
10001
4. Mail your press release to a local AP affiliate, if the press release is of regional or local, rather than national, significance. Visit the Associated Press resource link and select your state from the link to view the address.
