TIPS
for writing an effective press release
DO
• Include at least one contact name and daytime phone number(s).
• Keep it short, no more than one page, and to the point.
• Give specifics about time, location and cost.
• Submit press release two to three weeks prior to the event.
• Answer the six basic questions: who, what, when, where, why and how.
• Realize that space is limited and not all of your news will be published.
• Call immediately with breaking news.
•Think creatively about how your news could apply to various sections of the
Sun-Sentinel, then send press releases to the appropriate editors or reporters.
•Customize your press release for each geographic zone or section of the paper.
DON’T
• “Bury” the most important information in a long press release.
• Send or fax your press release to the wrong department.
• Call too often; one follow-up call is good.
• Send the release the day before the event (except in the case of breaking news).
• Send the release more than three weeks in advance.
• Try to write the story for us; send the basic information only.
• Use jargon that would be confusing to someone outside your area of expertise.
