If you have any press releases, story ideas, or news tips that you would like to share, please send them to pressreleases @findingwestport.com (Yes there here is a space to help cut back on spam) 

Please note: submissions may be posted on Finding Connecticut as well. Please let us know if you want the submission to only be on Finding Westport.

All event-based press releases will be included in our event calendar.  There is a fee to post events that are not tied to a press release. We handle the posting of events to cut back on spam and to make sure the events are found on search engines.

Tips on submitting press releases:

Please ensure that your subject line is specific

Our newsroom receives hundreds of emails every day. To ensure that your message is not overlooked, it is essential that your subject line is clear and relevant to Westport, Connecticut. If your subject line appears to be spam or has no connection to Westport, Connecticut, there’s a possibility that your email might be deleted without even being read. So, please make sure to compose a clear and relevant subject line for your email. If you are looking to submit a submission for another town please click here for the rules for Finding Connecticut.

Note: All of our news emails are filtered in the same box, please do not add both Finding Connecticut and Finding Westport email – we are not a fan of duplicates and it becomes time-consuming to delete duplicate emails.

We have the right not to post your submission at any time due to the amount of duplicate submissions received, time, subject matter, or spammy content. 

We will not work with or accept paid submissions from bloggers looking to post their non-Westport spammy content. 

Include the four Ws

Make sure to provide the who, what, when, and where of your event or accomplishment or submission.

We do not publish submissions without a photo or an image. Please make sure a landscape shape photo and or a logo is included.
