Headline

First paragraph

A few words on what the press release is about and ‘the hook’ (the one thing that

will make the journalist want to read on)

Main body – make sure you include:

1. Who (is the event/initiative for, who will benefit?)

2. What (is the event/ initiative about?)

3. Why (is the event/initiative being held?)

4. Where (is the event/initiative being held?)

5. When (is the event/initiative taking place?)

6. How (how much? how to book? how to get in touch?)

Quotes:

1. Please include a quote from a key spokesperson or lead for your project.

2. Portfolio Member Quote.

Ideally your press release should include a quote from a relevant Member.

Please feel free to ask us for a quote via email, the Communications and

Marketing Team will then liaise with the relevant member to gain final approval

and make amendments as necessary.

Final paragraph:

A one line summary of the release and who the public should contact for more

information
