Help With Press Releases

If you are new to writing press releases, please bear in mind the following. A press release should contain:.

-A strong or compelling e-mail subject header and headline.
-A first paragraph should include the five W's: Who, What, Where, When and Why.
-Electronic contact information including an e-mail address for the press contact and Web site address of the company. Make sure that in addition to e-mail contact information a phone number for the press contact is listed.
-Any key clients or endorsement from a 'non-biased' source like a university professor or reviewer. You should have permission from those sources to use their remarks in your press release.
-A short paragraph at the end of the release containing background information about the company. This might include a synopsis of the activities of the company, how long they have been in business, and any area of expertise. If the press release is about a book or similar, then cover career high-points.
