The 10 Commandments of Press Releases
|

stolbard writes "In baseball, it’s said that you know an umpire is top-notch when you never notice his presence. If he’s doing his job, he won’t call attention to himself in any way. It’s much the same for the writer of a press release. When the recipient of a release focuses only on its content -- and not on its creation -- the writer has succeeded. With that in mind, here's The 10 Commandments of Press Releases:"

How to Create an Online Newsroom the Media Will Love
|
|
|
stolbard writes "From time to time, people ask me how public relations has changed
during the two decades in which I’ve been seeking publicity. My
answer: technology. Twenty years ago, the fax machine was a
newfangled novelty. Our primary means of communicating with
journalists was the telephone and the US Mail. The advent of e-mail and the web has made life easier in many regards and tougher
in others - namely, thanks to hordes of clowns with money making
schemes and software that "blasts" press releases
indiscriminately to reporters, it’s become very hard to get your
e-mails through to spam-weary reporters.

Press Releases for Every Occasion
|

stolbard writes "by Bill Stoller, Publisher Free Publicity, The Newsletter for PR-
Hungry Businesses http://www.PublicityInsider.com/freepub.asp
To many marketers, the press release is something of a "one size
fits all" proposition. You want to get media coverage, you knock
out a press release, send it to some journalists and sit back and
wait.
Of course, smart Publicity Insiders already know that's a
prescription for failure. You know that your press release has
to have a "hook", be well-written and sent to appropriate
journalists in an active, not passive, manner. But there's
another part of the puzzle that even savvy publicity-seekers
sometimes miss -- you can?t just write "a press release", you
have to write the right kind of press release.
