Spicing Up a Political Campaign with Political
Press Releases

• In present times people look up
  to the Internet for latest news and updates. The
  new medium of Internet has although grabbed a
  large number of audience but when it comes to the
  dissemination of a political news then a major
  chunk of population prefer obtaining news from
  traditional paper method.
• As a matter of fact people consider the news in
  printed form more reliable. So when you want to
  inform people about your political event or
  campaign it is really important that you write a
  press release.

Specify Your Audience

• Specify your target audience meaning choose the
  newspapers and other publications which should be
  covering your political event. If your political
  event/election/campaign is on a small scale then
  it is better to use local newspaper for
  advertisement whereas if it is on a large scale
  then a better option is to contact national
  newspapers and agencies.

Draft a catchy title for political news

• At the top center of the page write IMMEDIATE
  RELEASE and below it mention a catchy title for
  your political news.

6
Keep it simple

• Write your news in a brief and concise form. Do
  not cut down or overdo any details. Also try to
  use simple language so that all types of readers
  are able to understand your message.

7
Give the facts

• It is really important that you back up your news
  with facts figures and statistics so as to
  assure the readers of its authenticity.
• While writing a press release make sure you keep
  into consideration the five Ws. State
  implicitly
• where the political event or campaign is going to
  take place
• what is its purpose
• why should people support it
• who are the key political figures involved in
  this event
• what its expected end results are

Mention the contact details correctly

• Do not forget to provide the accurate contact
  details of your partys spokesperson because when
  the news is published public opinions are
  generated which need to be taken care of.
