Press Here To Make The News
Freelance writers are often asked to write press releases. Press release writing is a key skill which allows writers to publicize their own services or promote someone else’s. Here’s what writers need to know.
What are press releases?
A press release is essentially a news story written to interest a specific publication or audience. It consists of three main parts: the headline, the introduction and the body. There may also be a note to editors at the end of the story which contains extra information for those not familiar with your organisation or product.
As with a news story, the lead is crucial. It should answer the who, what, where, when and why questions, right from the start. The press release should sound like a news story, with short sentences and paragraphs. Your story needs a clear angle, and no loose ends.
How do I decide what to put in?
News is essentially about people, so writers should stress the people aspect of the story.
Four other techniques writers can use are:
- controversy – examples could include attacking a government decision, making a prediction about the future or suggesting a new policy
- conflict – examples include price cuts, fighting for an elected office or a battle for market share
- novelty value – describe a coincidence, a chance event or a surprising statistic.
- empathy – show how your product can help the reader, a survey on issues that concern people, provide tips to handling a common problem.
A successful release should be:
- relevant to the people it is sent to
- focused: that is, correctly targeted
- timely: fitting in with the publication deadlines of the organization you’re sending it to
- readable: if it bores the person who does the initial read, the chances of getting it published are slim
- presented in the right format.

!Oye Esteban! [DVD] $17.99 !Oye Esteban! collects 18 music videos from the King of Manchester Mope, Morrissey. The former singing star of the Smiths is featured prominently in a majority of the videos. He visits the hometown of his idol, James Dean, for “Suedehead.” “November Spawned a Monster” sees him frolicking pensively in a desert, wearing a see-through shirt and an adhesive bandage over a nipple. His ode to the Kray brothers “The Last of the Famous International Playboys” finds the modern bard lip-syncing in an all-green room. He drives a convertible across California with his band in “My Love Life,” which features gorgeous black-and-white cinematography. “Sing Your Life” repositions Morrissey as a suave doo-wopper. He smirks passionately and stalks a steadicam-mounted camera as he promenades through an old city’s back alleys in “Tomorrow.” Videos that don’t feature Morrissey find an odd array of characters promoting animal rights, looking depressed, or performing any of a number of actions that our hero condones. The Warner Reprise DVD edition is fitted with pristine PCM sound, and all of the shine with vibrant, high-resolution color. A subtitle/lyrics mode makes for a quick-and-easy karaoke session. The camera obviously and absolutely loves Morrissey, and Moz fans will fall head over heals in love with this fine retrospective of videos. It’s a package that drips with a style and grace that would make Morrissey proud. ~ Tim DiGravina, Rovi |
