Writing a Capturing News Release
There are five basic ways to write a press release and successfully market your company's news to the media.
Keep in mind the media are busy, pressed for deadlines and always looking for the harder edge of a news story. Writing a media savvy press release is key.
Below are the steps to take for your news releases to successfully market your business.
- Write a press release for the public not your company's eyes
- Adhere to the Associated Press Stylebook writing standards
- Hit readers over the head with a shocking or punchy lead
- KISS your release, Keep It Simple Stupid
- Press releases should specific to media outlet specialties
Writing Releases for the Public Not Your Company
The best way to explain this is to show an example with comparisons. Below is an example of a lead written with the company in mind:
Anderson Parks is proud to announce the grand opening of its newest park, Green Park, on Sept. 12 at 11 a.m. at 2222 Greenway Circle. This marks a park accomplishment for the department in providing more green space without additional staffing costs.
Below is a better take on the same news connecting with readers and reporters using media friendly press release writing:
Residents and visitors will appreciate Green Park, the newest park in Anderson, Fla., because the park's preserve will provide an up close experience with a number of wildlife including 42 species of birds. On Sept. 12 at 11 a.m., the Anderson Parks Department will host a grand opening for Green Park located at 2222 Greenway Circle.
The second press release, above, explained the benefits of the news to the reader of the new park up front, whereas the first press release lead or introduction patted the company on the back.
Big difference! The media should be able to copy and paste your news release, and when is the last time a newspaper lead a story with text supporting a company?
Adhere to Associated Press Stylebook Writing Standards
The Associated Press (AP) Stylebook acts as a basic guideline for media writing and make it easier for media to use your releases as written. Highlights of those standards are:
- Numbers are spelled out one to nine
- Numbers 10 and above use numerals or a combination thereof
- Months are spelled out if not used with specific dates
- Abbreviate Jan. Feb. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. if used with specific dates such as Sept. 1, 2010
- State abbreviations are specific such as Florida is Fla.
- Abbreviate St., Blvd., Ave. if with the numeric portion of an address such as 2121 Langly Blvd.
More AP writing rules are answered on the Associated Press website. For immediate online access to the AP Stylebook, click here.
Hit Readers Over the Head With Punch Leads
An over-the-top lead can work, but is not for every news release. An example of an over-the-top press release lead that works:
Imagine for a moment a man is flying through your neighborhood wearing a bright red cape and gold leotard, just as you are outside looking up wondering if there is any way to save your home from foreclosure. Kissimmee, Fla. realtor Paul Antonelli is claiming to be a superhero that will help homeowners get out of trouble.
Clearly, this realtor is not a superhero, but playing off the radio show's superhero logo set this press release apart.
What is not appropriate as a "punchy" lead is: "Shelter X announced it will euthanize 400 animals this week, if more people do not adopt." That would prompt people to adopt for the wrong reasons. Be clear with your lead what you are calling readers to do.
KISS Your Release, Keep It Simple Stupid
Most of us fail to follow this very basic writing rule. In a press release, do not include every single detail. Highlight important facts including the who, what, when and where of the news item.
Drive readers to websites or social media sites to connect with you and learn more there.
For contests or deadline-oriented news, always, always, always send out at least three press releases starting four to six weeks in advance.
The first press release of four for Challenge to Change, a weight loss contest with cosmetic surgery as the grand prize, provides basic sign up information and a lot of details.
Subsequent releases will be briefer focusing on contest benefits and deadlines to increase media exposure.
Releases Should Be Specific to Media Outlet Specialties
If you are sending press release to a children's magazine, the writing should be softer and generally child-focused.
In that case, the Superhero Realtor press release listed above would need rewritten as:
Kissimmee-based Realtor Paul Antonelli is hoping his new radio show will save children and families from becoming homeless by providing assistance to families in danger of home foreclosure.
If a magazine you want to have your news published in does not publish long articles, then it may be best to send a personal email to a writer at the magazine instead. This may get you further than a press release.
Press releases are cheaper than advertising, but play a more important role in product and company announcements by selling a business's customer messaging and branding.
Remember a marketing firm does not have to cost you all of your profits to handle your press releases.
