Think Like a Reporter: How To Craft Irresistible Press Releases

Written by Ann Wylie | Jul 30, 2024 12:30:00 PM

Public relations pros have been married to the traditional PR writing approach since Ivy Lee created the news release in 1906. 

Now 2,500 releases go out each day — that’s one every 35 seconds. The competition for your reader’s time has never been greater. No wonder some 55% to 97% of all PR pieces sent to media outlets are never used, according to Wilcox & Nolte, authors of Public Relations Writing and Media Techniques. 

So, how can you put your release among the 3% to 45% of those that actually get the word out? 

On Tuesday, August 13th from 2-3pm ET, join me for a live workshop webinar where I’ll provide tips to find story angles that your press release readers will love and that editors won’t want to pass up.
