Why The Source Matters

Give your Statement a clear, verifiable source.

Before your words are quoted across search, social and the wider web, give them a clear, attributable home. Larry Weber explains why identity, authority and source matter in modern communications.

WHAT YOU GET

What makes a Statement official.

On Media.com, “Official Statement” identifies a publishing format issued from a verified source. It confirms who published the Statement and, for organizations, their authority to do so. It does not mean Media.com endorses or independently verifies the claims it contains.

  • Verified identity behind the publishing profile
  • Authority to publish checked for organizations
  • Permanent source URL
  • Original publication date and time recorded
  • Corrections and retractions shown transparently
  • Version history preserved
  • Review against Media.com Publication Standards
  • Source information available to readers

Publish your first Official Statement for $295.

This includes publisher verification, review against Media.com’s Publication Standards, and publication to a permanent, timestamped source URL.

Additional Statements are $295 each, with lower per-publication pricing available in bundles.

Create and preview without payment. Arrange publication only when you are ready to submit.

PUBLICATION ACCESS

Already publish on Media.com?

Publication Credits can be used for either an Official Statement or a Press Release. If you have an available credit, you can apply it when you submit. Otherwise, you can make a one-off purchase at that stage.

WHO CAN PUBLISH

Who can issue an Official Statement?

  • Individuals

    Verified people can issue Statements in their own name – for example, a founder, executive, spokesperson, public figure or expert speaking for their own work.

    Learn about individual verification

  • Organizations

    A verified organization can issue Statements through a representative whose authority to publish has been confirmed. The Statement is attributed to the organization rather than the representative’s personal profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose to call my Statement official?

The Official Statement label is applied only to content published through Media.com’s Statements workflow. It identifies the format and verified source; it does not represent Media.com’s endorsement of the Statement.

How much does it cost?

Your first Official Statement costs $295. Additional Statements are $295 each, with lower per-publication pricing available when purchased in bundles. You can create and preview your Statement without payment and pay, or use an available credit, when you submit.

Is this the same as a Press Release?

No. An Official Statement is designed to place a response, clarification, correction or position on the record. A Press Release is a more structured format for announcing news, usually with supporting media and contact information.

Is it distributed to journalists?

The Statement is published on Media.com at a permanent URL that can be shared with journalists, audiences and other platforms. Any separate distribution service is described and purchased independently where available.

Can I correct or withdraw a Statement?

Yes. Corrections, updates and retractions remain transparent. Media.com preserves the original publication record and displays relevant version information.

Does Media.com endorse what I publish?

No. Media.com confirms the identity of the publisher and, for organizations, the representative’s authority to publish. Publication does not mean Media.com has endorsed or independently verified the Statement’s claims.
