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.
