A Press Release is written in order to highlight an important event, program, or piece of information by an organization that succinctly describes the who, what, where, when, why and how of a story.
News releases can announce a range of news items such as: scheduled events, personal promotions, awards, news products and services, sales, accomplishments, etc. They are often used in generating a feature story or are sent for the purpose of announcing news conferences, upcoming events or change in a corporation.
A media release is like a short newspaper article that you may send to different media outlets in order to gain interest in a writer’s mind so that a story will be published about the organization in which you work for or the product in which you are trying to promote.
