News Release, Press Release

Promotional outlets that rely on excellent writing include: websites, brochures, newsletters, news releases, slogans, and advertising.

The News Release is disseminated to local and online press and information outlets to inform the public of important information. It is also used as a persuasive mechanism to get positive publicity through favorable press coverage, which generally has a high promotional value because it is objective and not paid for. The most valuable news releases address community impacts.

The news release can be the basis of a newsletter and included on your business website. Writing your release in a journalistic style appreciated by reporters may increase your chances that a news release will be successful in the local media.

Every business should use the news release when appropriate to promote itself.
