Guidelines for Writing and Formatting Press Releases The Message The Length Lead Time Standards Format Fact Sheet Photos and Photo Captions |
The format of the press release needs to follow these guidelines:
Type on only one side of a letter size piece of paper. Never print text on the back side of the paper.
Double-space the text so it can be easily read.
Indent all paragraphs.
Leave at least one inch margins on all sides. This gives the reporter space for editing, and makes your text easier to scan.
