Guide to Getting Editorial in Knowledge and other magazines.

I'm afraid you can't buy coverage in Knowledge, we are very friendly and approachable though, and you can easily do it yourself. Here are some ideas to consider when contacting us and other titles for news and features.

For us, email is preferable to phone calls. If you phone you'll be asked to put it in writing anyway so we can relay information more accurately, and an email can be passed onto various staff.
We and most good news outlets re-write everything, so you don't have to be a great writer, we just want the facts from you.
Don't get bogged down writing about your history, the important stuff is your forthcoming news, the stuff that is about to happen.
Attach low res images (2 or 3), check the size of images used on the site, then you won't have to send massive ones through.
Attach links to tracks you are promoting (Soundcloud/Fatdrop etc)
Magazines etc love exclusives, it helps us distinguish ourselves from other sources. If we get the information first we are more likely to put it up than if you have already posted it on lots of sites. Offering to combine the news feature with a free track giveaway or mix can also work well, we all know how popular these are, and a good way to get readers attention.
Keep media sources like Kmag up to date on a regular basis, you can build a relationship for when you really need the press ie when you have built up to having an album to release.
