Editorial Guidelines

• Follow AP style and press release format guidelines. Ensure the who, what, when, why and where are included along with any pertinent information. The press release should not read like marketing copy, but as an asset or resource for media and community members.
• Make sure your press release is newsworthy. The media is only interested in publishing press releases that are newsworthy. So make sure your press release is about something that is new, interesting, or important.
• Keep your press release concise. The media is busy, so they don’t have time to read long press releases. Keep press releasees between 500 to 800 words, not including your company’s boilerplate.
• Write a strong headline. The headline is the first thing that people will see, so make sure it is attention-grabbing and informative.
• Use keywords throughout your press release. When people search for news stories online, they often use keywords. So make sure you use keywords throughout your press release so that people can find it when they search for it.
• Include a call to action. At the end of your press release, include a call to action that tells people what you want them to do. Do you want them to visit your website? Sign up for your newsletter? Contact you for more information? Make sure your call to action is clear and concise.

By following these tips, you can increase the chances that your press release will be published by the media.
