HOW THIS ROOM WORKS
Submissions reach the announcements desk, which is not the newsroom.
Paid distribution services exist — translation, media-list delivery, placement in the announcements section. News coverage is never among them and never will be.
If our editors cover your announcement, that decision was made without knowing what you paid — the two desks do not share a wall socket.
