With regards to the basics of press release writing, here are seven basic elements that every press release should contain:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: These words should appear in the upper left-hand margin and you should capitalize every letter.

Contact Information: Insert this after the release statement above and list the contact information of the company spokesperson.

Headline: This should be written after the contact information.

Dateline: List the city of origin for your press release.

Lead Paragraph: The first paragraph needs to grab the reader's attention and should contain the relevant information to your message such as the five W's (who, what, when, where, why).

Text: Next comes the main body of your press release where your message should develop fully.

Last Paragraph: Make sure to alert the reading audience where to turn for more information; i.e. a postal address, phone number and website link. Plus offer something free for them; a report, newsletter or other gift.

To learn what's hot and what's not in your particular industry, check out PRWeb(r) at PRWeb.com for current press releases. No need to re-invent the wheel. See what's working there and treat the information as a general guideline for your own news format and presentation.
