What’s the Best Piece of Advice You Were Ever Given for Writing a News Release?

Writing tips can be spread across social media from consultants and journalism professionals. Public relations and corporate communications writing advice can come from industry professionals, online articles such as Huffington Post or PR Newswire, or it may come from your former or current educators.  So, how do you sort through all of the daily influx of information? What is that one tip that was the most memorable and one you think of each time you write a news release?
