How Mashable decides what to cover
Mashable, part of Ziff Davis, covers technology through the lens of culture. Its sections include tech, science, life, social good, entertainment, deals, and shopping, and its tech coverage spans apps, AI, cybersecurity, mobile, smart home, and social media. The voice is accessible and quick, aimed at readers who live online.
What tends to get covered: products and platforms people actually use, trends spreading on social media, entertainment and streaming news, and stories with a clear human or cultural hook. A B2B announcement rarely fits unless it changes something consumers will notice. Product launches do best when there is something to try, watch, or react to, and when the company can explain plainly why it matters to everyday users.
How to pitch Mashable
Mashable’s contact page is unusually clear. It says the news submissions address is the only Mashable address that reaches the editorial team, and that it is the place for a tip, an update, or a press release. The general contact address is explicitly not for press releases or news requests.
Beyond that inbox, read recent coverage and the staff masthead to find the reporter on your beat. A direct, short pitch that leads with the angle a Mashable reader would share works better than a full release. Include visuals or offer hands-on access when the story depends on seeing the product.
Contributed articles and op-eds
Mashable does not publish a public guest post or op-ed program. Its content comes from staff and assigned writers. Commercial partnerships, events, and advertising are handled by separate teams listed on the contact page and are not a route into editorial coverage.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I send a press release to Mashable?
To the news submissions address on Mashable’s contact page. Mashable says it is the only address that reaches its editorial team.
Does Mashable accept guest posts?
No public guest post or op-ed program exists.
Can you pay to be featured in Mashable?
Editorial coverage is not for sale. Advertising and sponsorships are handled by Ziff Davis’s commercial teams, separate from editorial.
Getting into a culture-led tech outlet takes an angle people would actually talk about. A PR-led approach to media relations finds that angle before the pitch is written.
Mistakes that get pitches ignored
- Sending press releases to the general contact address. Mashable says not to.
- Dry enterprise announcements with no consumer or culture angle.
- Pitches without visuals for products that need to be seen.
- Assuming Mashable is affiliated with sites or brands it writes about.
