Thank you for your interest in California Newswire®, an online magazine and news portal covering business, entertainment and technology in California. This “lifestyle publication” and news service is a unit of Neotrope®, established 1983 in California, USA.

We do not accept telephone calls regarding this publication.

You may email us at: support @neotrope.com (remove space before the @), provided you do NOT query us regarding any of the following:

• Comments about articles: all comments regarding articles or news items should be referred to the company mentioned in the story and NOT this Website, except as follows:

  • HOW TO COMMENT ON STORY:
    At bottom of each story you may post a comment. Our system requires you to enter your real name with valid e-mail address, and verify you’re a real human by entering an anti-spam word (”captcha”) provided at random. All comments are moderated, and held for review prior to publication to prevent “comment spam.” Self-promotional link messages will be deleted and never seen online.
• Link trade/exchanges: we do not accept or support link trades at this time. We will have a California directory search portal established soon.
• Press releases: we do not currently accept press releases except from California state and city government agencies and non-profits (*see note below), and we are NOT a free news posting site or free wire service. We do select stories we like from the Send2Press® Wire Service (Send2Press.com). If you would like your news to appear on this site, you should consider using Send2Press as an additional component of your California business promotion and PR program(s). No other newswire service feeds content to this site, due to the exclusive sponsorship of Send2Press®.
• Articles: we do NOT accept unsolicited (not asked for) manuscripts. However, if you are interested in writing about California travel, would like to be a featured artist, would like to nominate a “California person of interest,” or would like to contribute a photo essay, we’d love to hear from you. We have no interest in “advertorial” material. In other words, like all publications, you need to send an editorial query describing your ideas for an ongoing column and not send manuscripts without first contacting us.
• Partnerships: We are open to partnerships with California oriented Websites (except personal blogs or link/portal sites) that have both an established readership base and unique content. (Inquire.)

California Government and Non-Profit Organizations
*Note for Calif. Government bodies and Calif.-based 501(c)3 (or equiv.) non-profit orgs: we are working to set-up a moderated system whereby your organization may “post” your own news items in our system and news networks, and hope to have this working by July 1, 2008. You would need to log-in, post stories to meet our format requirements, and then our staff would “approve” this to make it visible and syndicated to other news systems. This will be free, but you would need to apply on our site for this capability. Inquire for more information — a sign-up form will be found on this page once this option is activated (as of May, 2008, we’re still working on some security issues, but we should have these resolved very soon!).
