Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

Requirements

  • Not a directory — coverage is earned editorial; no submission form or listing product
  • Engadget covers consumer tech: gadgets, apps, AI, computing, mobile, EVs, gaming, entertainment
  • All content is staff/contribution-written by named humans — site states a No-AI Writing Policy and that corporate sponsorships are never accepted for coverage
  • The catalog's stored website path (/about/advertist) is truncated — the working page is /about/contact/

Prepare before opening the form

  • A consumer-tech angle: a gadget, app, or consumer-facing AI/software story — B2B SaaS is a weak fit
  • Identify the editor/writer covering your beat from the masthead on the About page
  • Press kit with product details, images, pricing, availability; review unit or demo access if hardware/app

Workflow

  1. Pick the relevant editor or writer from https://www.engadget.com/about/contact/
  2. Pitch them directly with a concise, newsworthy hook
  3. Alternatively reach the newsroom via the Static Media contact channels (phone/address listed)
  4. Coverage, if it happens, is a staff-written article — no listing page is created

Watch for

  • Ownership changed to Static Media in 2026 — historical [email protected] conventions may no longer apply
  • No tips email is published on the contact page; only a phone number and licensing/jobs links
  • They explicitly never accept sponsorship for coverage — do not offer paid placement
  • Contributor pitches must be human-written; AI-generated articles are rejected per policy

What counts as live

An Engadget article mentioning or reviewing the product is published at engadget.com

Not verified

  • A current tips/news inbox — none is listed on the about page
  • Whether guest/contributed pieces are still accepted under Static Media ownership
