Pitching TechRadar, step by step

  1. Identify the section and writer: consumer tech, TechRadar Pro, or TechRadar Gaming, using the team listings on the contact page.

  2. Send news tips to the tips email published on TechRadar's contact page, or pitch the relevant editor directly.

  3. For products, offer review units with time to test, and include pricing and regional availability.

  4. For a Perspectives piece, read the submission guidelines, pitch the idea to the TechRadar Pro team for approval, then submit through the form.

  5. Keep Perspectives drafts at 800 to 1,000 words, exclusive, non-promotional, and written without AI.

How TechRadar decides what to cover

TechRadar launched in 2008 under Future plc and now has teams across several countries, covering news, reviews, and buying advice. The consumer site focuses on phones, computing, TVs, audio, streaming, gaming, and AI. TechRadar Pro covers business technology, from security and cloud to SaaS, and TechRadar Gaming covers games and hardware. TechRadar says it abides by the Editors’ Code of Practice.

Product coverage is driven by testing. News coverage favors launches, leaks, rumors, and announcements that matter to buyers. On TechRadar Pro, the audience is business technology decision makers, so enterprise announcements belong there rather than on the consumer side.

How to pitch TechRadar

TechRadar’s contact page lists its team by section and invites story tips by email at the address published there. Pitch the editor or writer who covers your category when you can. Include pricing and availability for each region you sell in, since TechRadar serves multiple markets. For hardware, offer a review unit with time for proper testing.

Freelance journalists are invited to pitch through the address on TechRadar’s About page. That route is for writers, not for company announcements.

Contributed articles and op-eds

TechRadar Pro Perspectives is the publication’s home for contributed analysis and opinion from business technology leaders. It replaced the earlier Expert Insights program. The guidelines are specific:

  • Around 800 to 1,000 words with a clear business technology focus.
  • Unique and exclusive to TechRadar Pro. Authors keep copyright but must link back if they republish.
  • No AI in drafting. Pieces found to contain AI-generated content are rejected, and repeat offenders are blacklisted.
  • Non-promotional. Companies may not mention their own names, products, customers, events, or research in the piece, except in the author bio.
  • A 50 to 100 word author bio and a headshot.

Pitch the idea to the TechRadar Pro team first. Only approved pieces should go through the submission form. The pages we reviewed do not state any fee.

Frequently asked questions

Does TechRadar accept guest posts?

Yes, on the business side, through TechRadar Pro Perspectives. Pieces must be pitched and approved before submission and must be non-promotional.

Editorial reviews and news are not for sale. The Perspectives guidelines we reviewed do not mention a fee, and advertising is handled separately by Future.

Where do I send news tips to TechRadar?

To the tips email on TechRadar’s contact page, or directly to the editor covering your category.

TechRadar rewards products that test well and contributed pieces with a genuinely specific point of view. A PR-led approach to media relations plans both: review programs for products, and sharp, non-promotional bylines for executives.

Mistakes that get pitches ignored

  • Naming your company or products in a Perspectives piece. The guidelines allow them only in the author bio.
  • Using AI to draft contributed pieces, which the guidelines say will be rejected.
  • Submitting a Perspectives article before the pitch is approved.
  • Recycling your company's survey results as thought leadership.
  • Broad overviews instead of a specific, expert angle.
