This site has both original content and editorial generated from the weekly newspaper. The American Reporter prides itself on being the first electronic daily newspaper in cyberspace. The Web site is general interest with an international target audience.

Editor-in-Chief Joe Shea says two areas of the site are media relations friendly. The OpEd page invites commentary from industry leaders about problems and potential solutions that may refer to a particular technology as part of a broader discussion of industry news. This area of the site can cover any industry because of its global nature. Copy should be about 600-900 words. No self-serving promotional pieces.

The Selected Releases section takes press releases about government agencies, nonprofits and some businesses - which are reprinted nearly verbatim with attribution to the submitting organization.

Also try targeting AR's travel and business sections, for which editors invite pitches that can be adapted. All contact by e-mail only to Shea at [email protected] with the heading "AR PR."
