Press Release Writing Tips For Your Biz!

A press release is an announcement of a newsworthy item that is
issued to journalists and other media representatives. And it is a
document that is generally formatted in a basic manner across the
publishing industry for quick, efficient handing across the board of
your news by media professionals.

With regards to the basics of press release writing, here are
seven basic elements that every press release should contain:

 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: These words should appear in the upper
left-hand margin and you should capitalize every letter.

 - Contact Information: Insert this after the release statement above
and list the contact information of the company spokesperson.

 - Headline: This should be written after the contact information.

 - Dateline: List the city of origin for your press release.

 - Lead Paragraph: The first paragraph needs to grab the reader's
attention and should contain the relevant information to your
message such as the five W's (who, what, when, where, why).

 - Text: Next comes the main body of your press release where
your message should develop fully.

 - Last Paragraph: Make sure to alert the reading audience where
to turn for more information; i.e. a postal address, phone
number and website link. Plus offer something free for them; a
report, newsletter or other gift.
