Press releases are an important tool for disseminating information to the media. A good press release should contain the following elements:
A meaningful headline: The headline should be short and concise and summarize the topic of the press release.
A meaningful lead: The first paragraph should contain the most important information and make the reader curious to read on.
Background information: The body of the press release should present more details and background information about the press release topic.
Quotes: One or more quotes from relevant people can add credibility to the press release and appeal to the reader emotionally.
Contact information: Contact information should be provided at the end of the press release for further information and interview requests.
Indication of publication date: The end of the press release should also indicate the date when the press release may be published.
Dissemination method: You should also indicate how the press release may be disseminated.
A well-structured and understandably written press release can help journalists pick up your story and report on it.
