Press Releases

A press release is a basica tool for communicating with the media about your organization's major achievements and announcements.  Press releases are one to three pages in length, written in a journalistic style on your letterhead, and are issued at your news event or on the day of your announcement.  Press releases usually include a headline, a lead paragraph, a release statement, and a final paragraph with contact information.
