One of the best ways to expose your business to a wider audience is still via the press. Whether this is through an online publication, or using traditional media like newspapers and magazines, to get your story published, press releases are key.
A press release is the most basic form of news and should present your story clearly and 
concisely to journalists, including all the key information they need to write an article. It should contain a compelling headline which conveys your key message, making it immediately clear to the reader what the story is. You should also include a sub-heading where appropriate, the story summary and quotes, as well as brief background information and relevant photographs.
A good press release will give the journalist everything they need to follow up a story but, the press release itself is not a story – it is the scaffolding upon which a story is built. It needs to short and punchy and if it hooks the reporter’s attention, then they’ll get in touch for more information.
There’s no guarantee that even with all this, your story will get published, but a journalist is more likely to consider it if your press release ticks all the boxes.
