Improve Visibility Through Press Releases Part 1A: What is a Press Release?

What is a Press Release and Why They are Important?

A press release is a specifically formatted communication piece written to share newsworthy information with a target audience. Press releases share details, or reflecting sentiment, opinions, and quotes from leaders of the organization, to help convey a meaningful message. 

Press releases are an effective and succinct way to relay information, specifically who, what, when, where, why, how and most importantly, who cares. Press releases were originally designed to provide the press with a short pre-approved company message, so journalists could quickly and accurately write new stories or follow-up pieces to existing news.

Press releases can help you get your news in the news, but they can also help you focus your message to better connect with target markets to promote events, share information, educate, give customer service news, attract new customers, and build connections with existing contacts.
