RALEIGH, N.C., September 22, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Newswire, an industry leader in press release distribution services, including content production, strategy, planning, and media technology, has found that successful campaigns include a newsworthy angle and proper press release format.
To achieve the latter, Newswire suggests companies use the inverted pyramid to properly structure their information to address the most important information and keep the content within a specified word range.
A press release should be between 300 and 400 words.
“Since press releases cover important information, exceeding 300 to 400 words is easy. But, having a framework like the inverted pyramid in place while writing helps professionals make edits to keep the focus on the main message,” said Jennifer Hammers, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Newswire offers an overview of the proper press release format:
- Compelling headline – Be direct, clear, and compelling to capture the readers' attention.
- Press release summary – Include supporting information that creates context for the campaign's topic.
- First paragraph – Follow the inverted pyramid.
- Second paragraph – The quote should support the topic of the press release and should come from company executives and/or topic matter experts.
- Last paragraph – Share additional information reinforcing the main topic and encouraging people to take a defined action.
