How to write a press release that actually gets read

Most press releases fail for one simple reason. They read like an ad.

A good release is closer to a clean news story. Fast, factual, and easy to scan. If you can Write a Press Release in Proper Format (Headline to Boilerplate), you are already ahead of 90 percent of the “we are excited to announce” crowd.

This page helps you generate that structure in minutes, then you can tweak it to match your company voice.

The standard press release format (AP style, simplified)

A press release is predictable on purpose. Journalists are busy, and they want the facts in the same places every time.

Here is the usual order:

1. Headline
   One clear sentence. Specific beats clever.

2. Subhead (optional)
   Adds context or a key benefit. Keep it tight.

3. Dateline
   City, State, and release date.

4. Lead paragraph
   The entire story in 1 to 2 sentences. Answer: who, what, when, where, and why it matters.

5. Body paragraphs
   Supporting details, proof points, background, and any numbers that make it real.

6. Quote
   A human voice that explains meaning, impact, or motivation. Not a sales pitch.

7. Boilerplate
   A short “About” section for the company. Consistent across releases.

8. Media contact
   Name, email, phone, and maybe a press kit link.

9. ###
   Traditional end marker.

What to include so journalists do not ignore it

A press release does not need more adjectives. It needs more clarity.

• A real hook: why now, why anyone should care today
• Specifics: dates, locations, pricing, availability, numbers, results
• Credibility: customer proof, partners, certifications, funding, data
• One main takeaway: do not stack five announcements into one release

Headlines that feel newsworthy (templates you can copy)

Use these as starting points, then make them more specific.

• [Company] Launches [Product] to Help [Audience] [Outcome]
• [Company] Announces [Funding/Partnership] to Expand [Market/Region]
• [Company] Releases [Report/Study] Showing [Key Finding]
• [Company] Adds [Feature] to Reduce [Problem] for [Audience]
• [Event Name] Returns to [City] on [Date] with [Highlight]

If your headline could fit any company, it is not done yet.

Quotes that do not sound fake

Bad quote: “We are thrilled to disrupt the space with innovative solutions.”

Better quote: speak to impact, customers, or the reason behind the move.

Try this formula:

• What changed
• Why you did it
• What it means for the customer or market

Example pattern:

“Teams waste too much time on [problem],” said [Name, Title]. “With [announcement], we are making it easier to [outcome], starting [when/where].”

Common press release mistakes (quick checklist)

• Leading with your company instead of the news
• No numbers, no proof, no specifics
• Over explaining in paragraph one
• Too many buzzwords, not enough information
• Forgetting a clear next step: link, demo, registration, availability date
• No contact details, which is wild but it happens

When you should publish a press release (and when you should not)

Press releases work best for:

• Product launches that are actually new or meaningful
• Funding, acquisitions, and executive hires
• Partnerships with a clear impact
• Events with a strong angle or notable speakers
• Reports and research with unique data

A press release is usually not the best tool for:

• Minor feature tweaks with no measurable impact
• Routine internal updates
• General brand awareness without a real news hook

Distribution tips that help

Writing the release is step one. Getting it seen is step two.

• Post it in your newsroom or blog, and make it easy to share
• Email a short pitch to a small list of relevant journalists, not everyone
• Include one strong link, not ten
• Add images or a press kit when it helps (logos, screenshots, product shots)
• Keep the page clean so it loads fast and looks credible

A simple workflow that works

1. Write the release using the generator
2. Replace any vague claims with facts or numbers
3. Add one quote that sounds like a real person
4. Tighten the lead paragraph until it tells the whole story
5. Send it to one colleague for a “does this make sense in 10 seconds” check
6. Publish and pitch it to the right people
