The PR Breakdown with Molly McPherson How to Write a Digital Press Release
Back in the day, press releases were typed up then mailed or faxed out to news organizations. Today, thankfully, we can toss the snail mail and fax machines and email them out. But because of the changes in technology, communications professionals need to change their methods if they want their news releases to get picked up by the media and published.
How do you get the attention of the media outlets? That’s exactly what I cover on today’s episode of the Confident Communications Podcast. I’m giving you tips and tricks to get noticed while also maintaining the professionalism of your organization.
As a bonus, you can also download my digital press release guide to keep handy. Grab it below.
