NEWS FEED SUBMISSIONS
Welcome to the New Feeling News Feed submissions page! This is a space for our members to share press releases about music, events, and related happenings with our wider community.
Before submitting using the form below, please read these guidelines carefully to ensure your press release meets our standards and is eligible for publication. By submitting, you agree to uphold the values outlined in our Code of Conduct.
Please note:
- This is a developing feature of our publication.
- Submission guidelines will be adjusted as needed, based on member feedback and editorial sustainability.
- Questions or feedback? Email newfeeling@gmail.com with the subject line “News Feed inquiry.”
Eligibility & Access
- Submission is a member benefit. Become a member!
- Only current subscribers can submit press releases. Memberships must be active at the time of submission.
- One press release per week. Each member may submit up to four releases per calendar month.
- This is a grassroots, community-oriented pilot project, not a business-to-business service. The news feed is intended to be a tool for our community to share their work, not a client channel. We understand and acknowledge that some New Feeling members are also PR representatives. During this pilot, we will be observing the volume of third-party posts and reserve the right to moderate or adjust posting frequency by membership tier if they become excessive.
What You Can Submit
We welcome announcements related to:
- New music releases (albums, EPs, singles).
- Live events and tours.
- Festivals, showcases, or curated performance series.
- Music-related zine or book announcements.
- Music-related podcast launches or season announcements.
We do not accept:
- Product sales without artistic/creative context (e.g., merch drops alone).
- Submissions unrelated to music made in so-called Canada or our publication’s core community.
- Announcements of purely commercial ventures without artistic value.
- Unsolicited editorial content.
- If you're unsure whether your announcement is appropriate, email us at newfeeling@gmail.com with the subject line “News Feed inquiry” before submitting.
Submission Requirements
- Press release text (100-200 words) — we reserve the right to edit for clarity, tone, and format.
- Headline (max 10 words).
- Release/publication date, and/or embargo details if applicable.
- Contact Information (email address and/or phone number for follow-up, if needed).
- External links: streaming/pre-save pages, event pages, media kits, etc.
- Dropbox/Google Drive link to a high-resolution image.
Editorial Review Process
- Every submission will be reviewed by a member of our editorial team before publication.
- We may make minor edits for clarity, style, or accuracy; members will be contacted if substantial edits are required.
- We reserve the right to decline any submission that doesn’t meet our standards, is irrelevant, offensive, spammy, or misleading.
- Press releases will be clearly labeled and published in the News Feed section, separate from our editorial coverage.
Disclosure & Transparency
- Publication in the News Feed does not guarantee any further editorial coverage by New Feeling.
- Any crossover (e.g., artists in the News Feed also appearing in editorial features) will be transparently disclosed in those articles.
Tips for a Strong Press Release
- Keep your message clear: focus on what, when, where, and why it matters.
- Don’t oversell: let the work speak for itself.
- Avoid jargon or overly technical descriptions unless your audience needs it.
- Feel free to include short quotes, track descriptions, or background, but keep it punchy.
