The Providence Journal is Rhode Island’s main daily newspaper, published as a daily since 1829 and a four-time Pulitzer Prize winner. United Press secures named, approved features on providencejournal.com, live within 14 days of your approval or a 100% refund.
There are two honest routes. The first is earned coverage: you give the Journal’s reporters a real Rhode Island news story, such as new jobs, an investment or a local first, and the newsroom decides whether to cover it. Nothing is promised.
The second is a guaranteed feature through a publication network. The Providence Journal is in our network, so we can agree the placement in writing before you pay. We write the article with you, you approve every word, and it is published on providencejournal.com within 14 days of your approval. If the agreed article is not published, you receive a full refund.
Many clients use both: a guaranteed feature for certainty, and a press release to the Journal’s business and local desks for the chance of extra earned coverage.
The Journal calls itself America’s oldest daily newspaper in continuous publication. That history is why a feature on its website is read as a serious signal by customers, partners and search engines.
Sources: The Providence Journal history and the paper’s own published history.
This is why vague, salesy copy does not work in the Journal. Readers expect facts, names and local detail, and so do we when we write your feature.

Rhode Island is the smallest US state, so one daily paper reaches a very connected audience: business owners, public officials, university staff, investors and families from Providence to Newport. The Journal has historically covered nearby southeastern Massachusetts too.
Because so many decision-makers read the same paper, a single well-placed feature can be seen by the people who matter most to a local launch, a hire or a partnership.
Readers come to providencejournal.com for local and state news, business, politics, sport, food and things to do around the state.
A local link makes a feature stronger. These are the places and sectors we most often build angles around.
Home to the state government, Brown University and RISD, with a growing start-up and creative scene.
Tourism, sailing, hospitality and luxury events, with strong visitor interest.
Retail, healthcare and family services in the state’s larger suburban cities.
Hospitals, clinics and research make health one of the state’s biggest employers.
Boatbuilding, ports and the blue economy along Narragansett Bay.
Providence is known for its restaurants, and new openings get attention.
We check fit, confirm the placement and link terms, and suggest the best local angle.
We gather your facts and quotes and write a news-style article with images.
Nothing is submitted until you approve the headline, copy and images.
Your feature goes live and we send you the link to share.

When people ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews or Perplexity about a business in Rhode Island, those tools lean on trusted, indexed sources. A clear article on a long-established news site gives them accurate facts about who you are, where you operate and what you do.
It cannot guarantee that an AI tool will mention you, and we will never say it does. It does make an accurate mention more likely, and it gives your own site a do-follow link from a respected domain.
