Press Release Writing – It’s Really Just for Journalists
If you attempt to write your own press releases, media outlets will most likely reject them. They must conform to some pretty standard formats and, more important, they must be:
- for information, not for promotion of a product or service, unless that product or service is new
- for something that is actually newsworthy – an announcement of a grand opening, a new partnership, an expansion, an achievement, etc.
To get noticed by media outlets as well as those who ultimately will be reading your press release, it should contain the following:
- Obviously the “what,” “who,” “where,” and “when” and maybe the how and why
- A stunner of a headline
- Perhaps some direct comments or quotes from an employee or a customer
- Short paragraphs and simple language/sentences
