Handle Lead time as follows:

  • Since publication schedules vary, contact each media outlet to determine the best timing for sending your releases.

  • In general, weekly or monthly magazines should receive your news several weeks in advance.

  • Send releases to daily newspapers at least one week in advance, if possible.
