NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2016 /PR Newswire/ -- Content on the Internet can live forever. While the press releases of the past might have found themselves in recycling bins without seeing the light of day, today's press release has the power to reach consumer audiences long after it was originally published—making it an important piece of any communications strategy.
The broad attention a press release can garner has made it more important than ever for brand communicators to make sure nothing is missing from each message. PR Newswire's white paper Press Release Boot Camp: What You Need to Know provides a comprehensive checklist for preparing a press release for distribution.
While the basics of press release writing are more widely known, there are smaller details that are easier to overlook when readying content for the wire. The white paper walks through a press release from start to finish, helping PR and marketing pros ensure they don't miss a thing.
- Adding an image or a video? Don't forget captions for each asset.
- Including a chart or table? Be sure to include the original excel or word file.
- Is your company publicly traded? Include your stock ticker.
- Sending internationally? Be aware of any added time needed to translate your content.
