  • How To Format For A Standard Press Release
  • In order for viewer to read all of its detail in
    an efficient way, Press Releases tend to follow
    a standard format. Writer should come up with a
    creative angle first before writing the release.
    It is essential to think about your story from
    the readers perspective
  • Why should they care, what they need to read and
    what makes your press release special? Then,
    when you have your angle, you need to support the
    news as objectively as possible with the stated
    facts. This will give your release the news
    tone and will be easier to be accepted by the
    editorial team.
  • Here is the standard press release format
  • Headline short and impressive enough to grab the
    viewers attention. It is also a summarizing
    statement about the release.
  • Subhead (optional) secondary statement(s) built
    on the headline and further fleshes out the
    message.
  • Dateline some necessary information about the
    city where the news is originated from and the
    releases date.
  • Lead or introductory paragraph The first part
    the release generally and usually answers the
    who, what, when, where and why questions. That is
    the newsworthy facts that must be included in
    the Press Release.
  • Body Some additional paragraphs (Usually three
    more) which provide further detailed information
    and material to support your press release. For
    instance, the direct quotes, relevant background
    information, statistics, etc. - and the Call to
    Action such as Download, Learn More, Purchase.
  • Boilerplate A short paragraph about three to
    four lines which used to give information about
    the issuing organization or company.
  • Source The organization or enterprise who issue
    the release.
  • Media contact information If possible, your
    release should fully provide the name and phone
    number as well as email address or media
    relations contact who can deal with questions or
    the one who can provide further information for
    your release.
