Tips and Strategies

  • As much as possible, add local interest content to your press release: quote a staffer or community member, add statistics that reflect your community or region, etc.
  • Give context to the news that makes it interesting to read: tie press releases to something happening locally or nationally, to the season, to a holiday, etc.
  • If possible, send press releases to a direct contact. If you don't have a direct contact, try to find a person from the organization's contact page, as opposed to a generic email address (like news@news.com).
