We will waive fees through midnight on Sunday, May 5 for organizations to communicate their efforts of assistance to the media and public audiences in China. News releases from organizations announcing help to relief the disastrous situation, e.g. provision of money, goods or services, will be eligible for distribution at no charge*.

Our editorial team reserves the right to review releases, and will reject release that heavily promotes goods or services in the release content.
