Acupuncture Today strives to keep its readers informed of the latest news and information on acupuncture and Oriental medicine. However, receiving news from the profession is sometimes hard to come by. As such, we are asking all acupuncture and Oriental medicine schools; state, regional and local associations; and national organizations to add Acupuncture Today to your mailing lists for press releases and news items, and to include AT in any electronic newsletter lists or discussion groups.
Why should you send Acupuncture Today press releases? Simple: The more news your school or organization sends, the better the chances of it appearing in the publication or on AcupunctureToday.com - and there's nothing wrong with a little free publicity. It's also a great way to let the rest of the profession know what's going on at your school or in your part of the country.
If you would like to send a news item or press release to Acupuncture Today, please address it to AT's managing editor at the following address:

You may also fax your news items to Acupuncture Today Managing Editor at 714-899-4273, or send them by e-mail to editorial@acupuncturetoday.com.
Thanks in advance for your support. We look forward to hearing from you!
