Attracting Media Attention: Getting Your Press Release Noticed

Writing by Online Publicity Journal on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 Comments Off

One of the most important things for marketing professionals and business owners who plan to use press release writing to attract media attention is actually quite simple: if you want to attract media attention, you’re going to need to be sure that your press release stands out:

(source)“I found that the average journalist receives 215 press releases a week – mostly e-mailed – but some receive many more.

“In a situation where most journalists suffer from press release overload, it’s vital that a winning release presents a relevant news story in a compelling way.”

Simply put, when you want to be sure that you are attracting media attention to your press release, you’re going to want to be sure that you:

  1. Have a great story – a newsworthy event or announcement
  2. Use the right format
  3. Use quotations and site sources that will give credibility to your story
  4. Ensure that you are sending a relevant announcement

While it’s possible to attract media attention in other ways; the above will help to ensure that you get your press release noticed in a way that will be advantageous to your business.
