How do I add news articles or get IMDB to link them to me

I've been mentioned in a few news articles for the past 4 years. I'm a IMDB pro member but I can not seem to get the News Articles to link to my IMDB page, even though I'm mentioned in them and some are about me. Anyone know how I fix this?

Hi @ElizabethPiperS -

Can you link below the news articles? And your name page.

Cheers!

I sent them all through IMDbPro last night. It took about 5 hours, finding and submitting all of them to IMDbPro. Is there anyway you could just access all of those? For some reason, they were all put under Official Websites in my IMDbPro page

@ElizabethPiperS​ Hi!

So you added them to external links? Can you link your name page?

Thanks!

I went to "Edit Page", then went under "Vanity/URL/external sites" and put them under there. 

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by link the name page. 

I need to watch a tutorial on this stuff lol

Hi @ElizabethPiperS​ -

I can confirm that you submitted the links to your page, they were approved and are now listed under the "External Sites" section on your page, be aware that this is separate from your "News" section.

"News" items are linked automatically based on the names/titles featured in the text of the article.  If a news item on IMDb.com mentions your name and you want it linked from your page, you will need to provide the exact link (permalink) to the article on IMDbPro so we can attempt to link it manually to your page.  Specifically, we will need the link to the article within our news system e.g. http://www.imdb.com/news/niXXXXXXXX (where XXXXXXXX is a number).   You can search through news desk articles via the following link:

https://pro.imdb.com/news/ by selecting the necessary news desk provider on the left-hand side.

Please also be aware that we can't add news items that have not already been submitted by our newsdesk providers (even if they appear on their site), or link to names/titles that are not mentioned in the item extract that was sent to us.

I hope this helps, let us know if you have any further questions!
