Contact

1. Welcome Message & Expectations
   • Headline: “Connect with News Midnight.”
   • Subtext: Explain why users should reach out (e.g., news tips, feedback, advertising) and set a realistic response time, such as “We typically respond within 24 business hours”.
2. Segmented Contact Information
   Organizing by purpose saves time for both you and your readers:
   • Editorial/News Tips: tips@newsmidnight.com
   • General Inquiries: info@newsmidnight.com
   • Advertising & Partnerships: ads@newsmidnight.com
   • Press/Media: press@newsmidnight.com
3. The Contact Form
   • Keep it simple to increase conversion; ideally only 3–4 fields: Name, Email, Subject (Dropdown), and Message.
   • Use a dropdown menu for “Reason for Contact” to automatically route messages.
4. Location & Operations
   • Address: List your physical office address to build legitimacy.
   • Map: Embed an interactive Google Map so local readers can find your headquarters easily.
   • Hours: Clearly state operating hours for phone support or office visits.
5. Social Connectivity
   • Include links to active social profiles (e.g., X/Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn) to encourage community engagement.

2026 Best Practices for News Sites

• Mobile First: Ensure your form fields are large and easy to tap, as over 60% of traffic is mobile.
• Trust Signals: Include a brief privacy statement near the form to assure users their data is secure.
• Self-Service: Add a link to an FAQ page or Help Center to reduce unnecessary inquiries.
• Confirmation: Display a friendly “Thank you, we’ve received your message” message immediately after submission.
