The Sacramento Bee has reported from California’s capital since 1857 and has won six Pulitzer Prizes. United Press secures named, approved features on sacbee.com, live within 14 days of your approval or a 100% refund.
Earned or guaranteed. For earned coverage, you pitch The Bee’s reporters a real California story and hope it is picked up. The editors decide, and most pitches are not used.
For a guaranteed feature, the placement is agreed in writing before you pay. The Sacramento Bee is in our publication network: we shape the angle, write the article with you, you approve it, and it goes live on sacbee.com within 14 days of your approval. If the agreed article is not published, you get a full refund.
Because The Bee sits in the state capital, it is a strong choice for companies whose news touches California policy, the Central Valley or the Sacramento region’s growing economy.
Listing details from our publication network, October 2026. We confirm them in writing before you book.
