Media Tip 24

Media Tip 24: Press Releases—Ensure that your press releases have strong leads; are one- to two-sentences long; use the inverted pyramid for overall structure; and include quotes that emphasize emotions, not facts. These are the fundamental tools to persuade reporters to cover stories. Many reporters nowadays prefer email releases.
