What is a press released?
A press release, also known as a news release, is a written
communication or statement issued by a company,
organization, government agency, or individual to inform the
media and the public about a specific event, announcement,
or news-worthy development. Companies often use press
releases to announce the launch of new products or
services.
Benefits of press released?
Press releases offer several benefits for businesses,
organizations, and individuals as part of their public relations
and communication strategies. Journalists, bloggers, and
news outlets often pick up press releases. This can lead to
media coverage that helps spread your message to a larger
audience.
HOW TO DO PRESS RELEASED?
Writing an effective press release involves following a specific format and structure. Here's a
step-by-step guide on how to create a press release:
1. Identify Your News Angle:
Start by determining the newsworthy aspect of your announcement. What makes it interesting or important to
your target audience? Your press release should have a clear and compelling angle.
2 Create a Catchy Headline:
Write a concise and attention-grabbing headline that summarizes the main point of your press release. Make it
clear and engaging.
3 Add the Dateline:
Include the date and location of your press release, typically placed at the beginning.
The dateline should include the city and state (or country) and the release date.
4 Write an Informative Lead Paragraph:
The first paragraph should provide the most important information, including who,
what, where, when, and why. Journalists often use this paragraph to quickly decide if
the press release is worth their attention.
5 Provide Supporting Details:
In the subsequent paragraphs, offer more details and context. Explain the significance
of the news and provide quotes from relevant individuals, such as company executives
or experts.
6 Include Boilerplate Information:
At the end of the press release, add a brief section about your company or organization.
This is known as the "boilerplate" and provides essential background information.
7 Contact Information:
Include contact information for media inquiries. This should include a contact name,
email address, and phone number.
8 Use Associated Press (AP) Style:
Write your press release in a journalistic style, following the guidelines of the
Associated Press (AP). This includes writing in a third-person perspective and using
clear and concise language.
9 Optimize for SEO (Optional):
If you're publishing the press release online, optimize it for search engines by including
relevant keywords and links. This can help with online visibility.
10 Proofread and Edit:
Carefully proofread your press release for spelling and grammar errors. Make sure it's
well-written and free from typos.
11 Formatting:
Use a standard press release format, with double-spaced text and a clear, legible font.
Ensure the press release is easy to read.
12 Distribute the Press Release:
Once your press release is ready, decide on your distribution strategy. You can send it to
media outlets, use a press release distribution service, or publish it on your website and
share it through your social media channels.
13 Follow Up:
After distributing your press release, it's a good idea to follow up with journalists or
media contacts to answer any questions or provide further information.
