Comment with Your Tips: What’s the best way to begin a news release?
With the media receiving thousands and thousands of messages and press releases per day, how do you grab the attention of the media and your audience in a news release? Corporate communicators and public relations professionals may have practiced the “inverted pyramid” style of press release writing for years. Does that standard still hold true? If your organization is in a crisis and does not have a team of experienced writers, should you consult with a crisis communications expert or public relations expert? What are some of the best leads you have seen over the years?
