How to write a Press Release for Grade XI and XII?

 What is Press Release? What Makes a News Release Effective?

Ø  A press release is an official statement that is distributed to members of the news media to disseminate information, form an official position, or announce something that will be made public. Press releases are likewise regarded as primary sources, which denotes that they are the initial sources of information. In others, a press release is succinct and highlights a significant event, judgment, or nugget of information. Who, what, when, where, why, and occasionally how should all be included in the first paragraph of a news release. Make the subject concrete, the verbs active, etc. The most crucial information should be covered first, then specifics.

Ø  Make the title of your press release interesting, such as "Flight Halted." Write the heading as though it was the newspaper headlines you would like to see. Make it difficult to stop reading in the first sentence. On the top right corner, make sure to include your name and phone number. Even if that means including your cell, home, and workplace numbers, list a number that will be answered by a live person. Remember to write your release date in the upper-left corner of your release. For immediate release, type "MONTH, DAY, YEAR."

Ø  Include a spokesperson's statement. Make sure to include both the person's title and the full name of the business. Quoted phrases should be brief and to the point. It is a good idea to let your spokesperson know about the release and their quotation so they won't be caught off guard. Write in the third person. Your release will sound more like an advertisement than news if you write in the first person.

Ø  Only include one or two pages in your release. Reporters detest receiving lengthy faxes and emails. Send your release via mail if you need to add extra details and information or if a significant event necessitates a longer-lasting response from your company than a press release, write a one-page statement from your president. Use the title: “Statement by (president), President of the (nonprofit).” Proof everything at least twice. If your press release looks disorganized and is badly written, the nonprofit’s image will suffer. Conversely, if the release is well written, the paper may print it verbatim. Never editorialize in press releases. For example, do not write that a speaker is gifted. Keep opinions and judgments within the quotes. After sending your release, make follow-up calls to specific reporters, making sure they received your release.

RE: Irregular Operation July 7, 2019-Nassau/Orlando

Issue: Monday, July 8, 2019

Nassau, Bahamas, Bahamasair wishes to advise the traveling public that our Sunday, July 7 schedule was negatively impacted by weather-related closures at both the Lynden Pindling and Orlando International Airports.

unfortunately, Lynden Pindling International Airport closed several times yesterday due to thunder and lightning storm which lingered around the island of  New Providence for most of the day creating several delays. further compounding these challenges was the closure of the Orlando International Airport due to lightning which further impacted the schedule and ultimately resulted in one of our Orlando bond flights having to be diverted to Fort Lauderdale.

with the passage of this weather system, it is expected that all flights today should proceed as scheduled with minimal disruption.

we wish to thank the traveling public for their continued patience, as these delays were unavoidable. our intent is to consistently provide a safe and dependable service as we strive to be the airline of choice connecting the island of the Bahamas to the world.

                    Unfortunate Victim of Financial Fraud in Rautahat: College Employee Loses Property Due to Duplicitous Actions

 In a distressing incident that has shaken the community, a long-serving employee of a local college in Rautahat has fallen prey to financial deception, leading to the loss of their property. The victim, who was known for their dedication and active involvement in the college's operations, found themselves embroiled in a situation where their trust was betrayed, and their assets were put at stake. The incident began when the victim, having taken a keen interest in financial matters, was enticed by a fraudulent scheme promising quick debt relief. Unbeknownst to the victim, the alleged financial institution that offered assistance was operating with deceitful intentions. Over a period of time, the victim was coerced into providing duplicate documentation and signing agreements under false pretenses.

 As the plot unraveled, it became clear that the victim had been ensnared in a web of deceit, leading to the unfortunate outcome of losing their property. The victim's house, which they had diligently acquired through years of hard work, was put up for auction to settle a debt that had been artificially inflated through manipulation. The local authorities have been alerted to the incident, and an investigation is currently underway to identify the culprits behind this financial scam. The victim's colleagues, friends, and the community at large are rallying to offer support during this difficult time. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and due diligence when dealing with financial matters. Authorities are urging citizens to thoroughly research and verify the legitimacy of any financial institution before entering into agreements or transactions. 

Local community leaders and organizations are working together to provide the victim with the necessary support to navigate this challenging situation and explore legal remedies for recovering their lost property.
