What Is A Press Release
- What Makes it different from a news story?
Press Releases
are announcements made by companies about new products or activities they
are undertaking. Historically companies and publicists would send
press releases to news media (newspapers, radio stations, TV stations,
magazines, etc.) From there an editor would decide if the release
was newsworthy, and if so assign a reporter to research it further and
develop a story. As communications media has evolved with faster
news on TV and the Internet, it has become a more common practice for news
media outlets to publish Press Releases directly. For some publications,
it's hard to tell if the release is an independently written story, or
if it is a release, for others, releases are clearly labeled so that the
reader can determine how much confidence to put in its claims. |
