Entertainment & Culture Publications
Browse 67 entertainment & culture outlets United Press can place your story with. This list covers entertainment, culture and general-interest magazine titles across consumer press. Get in touch to discuss which outlets fit your announcement.
These Entertainment & Culture Publications are titles we can place announcements with directly. Entertainment coverage runs on release dates, embargoes and exclusivity rather than on volume, and the sequencing of an announcement often decides how much coverage it gets. Offering the same news to everyone simultaneously usually produces less total coverage than placing it well with one outlet first and letting others follow.

How placement in Entertainment & Culture Publications works
The decision on each announcement is exclusive or wide. A well-chosen exclusive gives one outlet a reason to cover the story properly, and the follow-on coverage from others is usually larger than a simultaneous release would have produced. Wide announcement suits news already of broad interest, such as a major tour or a festival line-up. We recommend one or the other per announcement rather than applying a fixed rule.
Timing matters almost as much. Four to six weeks ahead suits releases and tours; film and festival coverage needs longer. Culture desks also cover exhibitions, publishing and arts funding, which run to institutional calendars of their own. Where a guaranteed publication is required, the outlet is agreed in advance and publication is contracted rather than pitched. Professional standards for this work are set by the Public Relations and Communications Association. See the rest of our work on our list of services.
Entertainment & Culture Publications — frequently asked questions
Should we offer an exclusive or announce to everyone?
It depends on the story. A strong exclusive with the right outlet usually generates more total coverage because others follow it. Wide announcement suits news that is already of broad interest. We advise per announcement rather than by rule.
How far ahead should entertainment news go out?
Four to six weeks for releases and tours; longer for film and festivals. Too early and it is forgotten; too late and the outlets that plan ahead have filled the slot.
Do you work with independent artists and small venues?
Yes. Independent artists often see better proportional results, because outlets covering emerging work are more accessible than the mainstream desks and are actively looking for new subjects.
What about exhibitions and arts organisations?
Culture desks cover exhibitions, publishing, funding announcements and institutional news on their own calendars, which tend to run further ahead than music or film. We plan to those calendars.
Can you guarantee national arts coverage?
No. National culture desks make independent editorial decisions. Guaranteed placement applies to the outlets in our network; for nationals we pitch, without a promise attached.
Which entertainment and culture titles can you place with?
