Blog: How to craft a riveting press release
When promoting an event, a press release is one of the most reliable ways to get the media’s attention. 


There are a few key traits common to any clear and effective press release:
  1. It fits on one page
  2. It’s written in the third-person (“they, he, she” versus “me, you, ours)”
  3.  Use neutral language.  This is not a promotional piece.  No !!!!!!



Slide 20 - Diapositive

The following slides are based on the Blog about How to Craft a Riveting Press Release. 
How to craft a riveting press release

  1. Headline and subheadings
  2. Body copy with event details

  3. Don't leave out the good stuff
  4. Add a quote(s)
  5. Include visual(s)

  7. Always include a boilerplate  (business card)

Slide 22 - Diapositive

8. Boilerplate (business card): the perfect way to end a press release
Journalists want to know more about you. The boilerplate is exactly the place where they will find any additional info about your company or you. Make it fun and interesting—it works as your business card.

A boilerplate is a short paragraph at the end of every press release that summarizes the core principles of your company. Many companies have a boilerplate as part of their branding guidelines, and you should include it in your event press release template.
Here's what a press release should include.

 Now that you have practiced writing in class you are ready to start writing the final press release. For your graded summative assignment, you will write a press release. You are writing the press release on behalf of the tourism board in Rotterdam, Amsterdam or Haarlem (depending on your own location). The participants will create their own Instagram page dedicated to promoting (sustainable) tourism to their chosen district in Rotterdam, Amsterdam or Haarlem. Just like you have been preparing in project 1.1, you will be focusing on the “Instagrammability” of a district in Rotterdam, Amsterdam or Haarlem, only this time your focus is on writing an effective press release. 
 So, the final products which you will upload into Gradework are:
