WRITING A NEWS RELEASE

• All news releases should contain the organization’s name and address, along with the name and daytime phone number of the individual to be contacted in case more information is needed.
• Consider sending an electronic press release via email. Paste the text into the message field rather than sending an attachment that may not be compatible with the programs in use at The Press-Enterprise.
• Be concise. News releases, as a rule, should not be longer than 1½ pages, double-spaced.
• Be aware of submission deadlines. Most publications like material at least two weeks before the event. It can never get there too early.
