Press releases (also called news releases or press statements) are written or recorded communications used to announce a piece of newsworthy information, such as a product launch, new program, organization expansion, event, award, financial data, or personnel change. 

They are a foundational tool in any writer or leader’s communications arsenal and a key promotional device in public relations.

In the past, news releases have been directed at the media, providing them with basic information needed to develop a story. The media then announces the news content from the release to its readers. Now the internet enables you, the writer, to publish a release to reach a niche’s target audience, too. Online releases can create back links to your site, increase exposure, and build traffic – if handled well.

You can do so. Check out the free e-book when you get ready to write your next press release.
