New media press releases

Never forget these and you will succeed!

Press releases are designed to get as much media coverage as possible. But rather than concentrating on the amount of new media coverage, PR requires us to concentrate more on the quality not so much on the quantity.

Places we and our news go.

Traditionally press or news releases are written or recorded communication for announcing something apparently newsworthy. The target audience for these documentations is journalists and editors at newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television networks. Now as media got more digital now we should rather think about bloggers, online editors, influencers, online media owners and of course brand’s own social media sites as a platform for releasing news.

Press statement or video release?

Video on the rise as for that a video message with some shareable footage is a big prize for any editor who needs to catch the attention of their audience. However, we have to think about the old ways as numbers, details and facts are best presented written.

How does new media or social media press release differ from the traditional press release?

Mainly, three things are different. The audience, the style and the technology. When preparing a news media or even social media press release you are thinking about targeting the customer. This will change the mood and the atmosphere of your content. You are more welcome to tell a story, use pictures, emotions, graphics. All those elements people yearn for in the social noise. Why should you do this? Have you heard about the trust issues with news agencies, fear of fake news? Your audience is more likely to listen and share content that not so formal and much easier to digest. Your style needs to shift from facts to storytelling. PR specialist helps you build the story.

Share is the new coverage and AI is the postman
