How to Get Published in the Media: Step-by-Step Guide for Experts and Businesses
Today, information is the currency of trust. Being published in a reputable media outlet is not just a matter of image — it’s a powerful tool for increasing awareness, generating traffic, attracting investors, or even rebuilding a damaged reputation.
But how exactly do you get published in the media? What are the costs? What risks and opportunities should you consider?
In this article, we break down everything entrepreneurs, experts, and companies need to know to legally, effectively, and safely publish content in the media.
Why publish at all?
More than 70% of B2B decisions are made based on trust in a brand or individual. If you’re quoted in Forbes, mentioned on liga.net, or featured in AIN, you instantly land on your audience’s radar.
It works when you:
  • are launching a startup or product;
  • are entering foreign markets;
  • want to raise your consulting fees;
  • are building a personal brand;
  • are rebuilding reputation after a crisis.

Media publication options: how to choose?
1. Directly through the editorial team
Works if you:
  • have your own news or mediaworthy event;
  • are ready to pitch and pass editorial review;
  • are not in a rush (it may take weeks).
🔴 Cons: There are no guarantees — especially if you’re a little-known company or expert.

2. Through a PR specialist or agency
Best if you want to:
  • have control over the content;
  • target specific media;
  • get guaranteed publication within a set timeframe.
In this case, you’re paying for a native-style article, not breaking news.

3. Through PR platforms (like PRBox)
Think of it as a marketplace for media placements. You choose the media outlet, see prices and timelines upfront — and receive a published article in return.
Great when you:
  • want quick, negotiation-free placements;
  • need scalable online visibility;
  • want to avoid agency markups.

How much does it cost to publish in 2025?
Prices vary depending on the media outlet, format, and language:

  3. Messaging: what exactly do you want to communicate?
  4. Original photos / infographics — increases visibility and priority
  5. Internal approval — who on your team signs off?

FAQ
🔹 Can I publish anonymously?
— In some cases, yes. For example, as part of an analytical piece or via PRBox without explicit attribution.
🔹 Will the media remove the article if I request it?
— If it’s a paid native publication, then yes — usually by agreement. Organic media mentions typically remain online for years.
🔹 How long does the publishing process take?
— Typically 2–7 business days, depending on the platform.
🔹 How to avoid mistakes in the text?
— Major outlets have editors, but it’s best to use experienced PR copywriters.
