This weeks assignment: Write a Press Release

But what they really want is the article that would be the result of a press release.

What is a Press Release?

It is a very formal document that is sent to different newspapers, magazines or other form of media to get free publicity through these channels.

Copy from WikiHow:

“How to Write a Press Release

Start a press release with an attention-grabbing headline in bold font. Begin the body copy with the date and city that the release is from. Your lead sentence should be a concise summary of the subject of the release. The rest of the body tells all the important details of your story: who, what, when where why and how. Put the most important information first, followed by more general information, and don’t forget to include your contact information at the end.”

End copy

If you want more information on what a press release is just google it.

By the way don’t forget the three hashtags at the end of your press release and it should be short and concise on one page.

I am going to follow the direct instruction: Write a press release. What are you going to write the press release or the article that would be the desired result from your press release?
