Five Practical Pointers For New Press Release Spokespersons

In today's business climate, with companies competing for attention in a noisy marketplace, it's more important than ever to get your story out to the public. In fact, many people rely on media coverage as their primary source of information about their company or products. If you're responsible for writing press release format that reach those consumers and journalists alike, there are certain things you should keep in mind when crafting these pieces of communication.

Remember that the reporter is your friend.

You may be a newbie, but remember that the reporter is your friend. Reporters are not your enemy; they're people too! They want to help you get the word out about your story, and they want to help you with it so they can share it with their readership.

It's important for reporters and editors alike not only because of what we do as reporters (we talk), but also because our work requires us to interact with others in many different ways: on social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter; through email correspondence; while waiting outside an event venue where an interviewee will be speaking at...the list goes on!

Avoid gimmicky tricks.

Avoid gimmicky tricks.

Don't try to be funny, clever or anything else that's not relevant to your topic. You're a spokespersons and you need to focus on your message and the information it has for the reader.

If you don't know the answer, say so.

If you don’t know the answer, say so. There’s nothing worse than trying to deliver an opinion on a subject that you really don't understand. It's also not helpful for your audience if they think you're too busy memorizing facts and figures to pay attention to what they're saying. If a reporter asks a question about something specific (for example, "What was your experience with X?"), be prepared with an appropriate response—but only when asked directly without prompting from others first!

If someone asks questions in the press release example (like where did the idea come from?), try answering them as best as possible within reason; but again: no making stuff up! If there's some detail left out of this response because we didn't want our company name associated with such-and-such issue…well then why should anyone believe anything else coming out of our mouths?

Prepare for the interview.

Research the reporter and the publication.

Be prepared to answer questions about your product.

Be prepared to answer questions about your company.

Be prepared to answer questions about your industry, competitors, etc..

Don't go off the record.

Keep the conversation on the record.

You should never go off the record with a reporter, unless they explicitly ask you to do so. If they don't ask and you're not comfortable with it, then don't do it! It's important that your story is told in full and unedited by someone who works with reporters all day long-the only thing worse than a bad press release is no press release template at all!

If there are any questions about what was said or done during those moments when all eyes were trained on each other (you!), then make sure those details are included in your written report as well as spoken ones—and if possible include transcriptions of both conversations so readers can see exactly how things went down between them (including any hesitations).

Keep in mind that a press release is a tool to communicate with the public or media to inform or convey information.

A press release is a tool to communicate with the public or media to inform or convey information. The goal of the press release is not just to get your story out there, but rather it should serve as a means for you to supplement any existing marketing efforts by establishing credibility and providing additional context for what you offer.

In other words: keep in mind that a press release sample is more than just a piece of writing—it's also an opportunity for you to get noticed!
