However, press release services are far from equal. Some hire people whose English is not up to par in order to curb expenses. You end up with copy that’s barely readable, trying to convince the literate journalistic world the validity of your story with grammar that’s rarely exact.
Still others use language that’soozingwith marketing, tipping any journalist off to the fact that you really just have something to sell, rather than a truly intriguing news story to tell.
What you need is a well-crafted, professionally written press release that tells the journalistic points of your story, one that sticks to the point and tells the news hounds everything they need to know. The press release should stick to what is “newsworthy,” hooking the journalist from the very first sentence.
Journalists get bombarded with so many press releases that it’s hard for them to take them seriously. Most have no relation at all to the journalist’s deadline. She might peruse it just for a gimmicky kick, but if the press release doesn’t go beyond the gimmick, your story hits the circular file or gets skipped over for the next.
What you want is a press release that spells out the news up front in charged language that is impossible to resist.
A good press release illustrates why the story is news through concrete representations.
Invest in choice press release services that tell the story with a newsworthy hook. Secure the journalist’s interest with writing that clearly crafts the dimensions of the story you wish to tell. Often, it’s the press release that inspires the angle the story takes. Begin with a well crafted story that packs from the first punch.
