TIPS FOR WRITING A PRESS RELEASE<br />

• Include a release date at the top of the page.<br />

• Provide a contact name and phone number for further questions.<br />

• Use a headline if you wish, but the editor will probably choose his or her own.<br />

• Type the word “more” at the end of each page and “-0-” or “-30-” at the end of the release.<br />

• Summarize your story in the first paragraph–who, what, why, where, when, and how. Be as concise<br />

as possible.<br />

• Elaborate on the details, including quotes from important sources, and other newsworthy tie-ins after<br />

the first paragraph.<br />

• Raise other intriguing questions or suggest specific topics of interest if you are hoping to generate a<br />

feature story or personal radio or TV interview. In other words, make it easy for the journalist to get<br />

you in print.<br />

• Suggest, in a covering “pitch” letter, an interview with the principal person or organization involved<br />

(such as a book author or the chairperson for a fund-raising effort).<br />

• Remember to send a copy to all of your government representatives who are usually interested in<br />

events taking place in their ridings. With enough lead time they may include them in their<br />

community newsletters.<br />

• Send a copy to TA<strong>BIA</strong> for posting on the website Events Calendar – to: info@toronto-bia.com<br />
