Should I contact the Daily Mail directly?

If your Daily Mail enquiry involves something other than selling your story, photo or video, you can reach the publication directly on their website.

You can also contact them directly to sell a story, photo or video. However we know that it can be very daunting telling or selling your story directly to a newspaper.

Our service works for everyone. Newspapers like the Daily Mail rely on us to supply news and features every day. We package and write the content precisely to fit with their publication. In addition, clients opt to work with us so that we can look after their best interests and protect them from being misrepresented.

Using our cutting-edge technology, developed in partnership with Google, we track anyone using your material to make sure that you are paid fairly.

What kind of stories, images and videos do you publish?

We contact the Daily Mail with our stories every single day.

Like us, they love a variety of stories. Get in touch with us if you think you have a story the Daily Mail or other papers would like to publish.

We contact the Daily Mail with two kinds of stories.

1) Exclusive Stories.

This means they will appear in ONE newspaper first.
We will secure an exclusive one-off fee.

2) Newswire Stories.

This is where our stories go to the Daily Mail and ALL the other newspapers and websites at the same time.
As such, you’ll be paid for the column inches that it takes up, or the size, quality and page that the pictures appear on.
We will make sure that every newspaper that uses your story pays for it.

Daily Mail Story – Case Study

We supply hundreds of stories to the Daily Mail and other publications each week. Here’s just one example:

Recently we got in contact with the Daily Mail about autistic schoolboy Hayden Geraghty, aged seven, who couldn’t talk.

Amazingly he found his voice when he watched Major Tim Peake travel into space – and it inspired an incredible passion for space.

His mother Caroline got in touch with us because she was so proud of Hayden – but wanted to make sure the story was handled properly and sensitively. In addition we ensured Caroline and Hayden received the highest fee possible.
