A press release targets the media, providing a brief outline of the major facts of a news story in a journalistic style. Journalists, editors, and broadcasters use the factual news for their publications and programmes. A press release should ideally have a location and date, be written in third-person, cite quotes and sources, and contain crucial information.
Our quick and easy-to-use press release tool allows you to customize and embargo your press release.

Q. How Do I Write a Press Release?
A. Since a press release is primarily a news story, you should ideally include a location and date at the start of the first paragraph. For Instance, "New York, NY - August 19, 2020".
As in a standard news story, the initial headline should summarize the main news of the press release.
Below the headline is often a brief, one-line summary of the press release.
The rest of the press release should answer all of the questions a journalist might have about your announcement (who? what? where? when? how? and why?).
Although a press release is a public relations tool, it should remain factual and not overly promotional as it's not an advert.
Research shows that press releases that include photos, videos, and charts, receive a larger engagement.
Please ensure your press release is for a current or upcoming release. If not, you will need to backdate it by using our embargo tool, otherwise it may not be published.
