Tips to write a press-release

Write the headline

...read more

It should be brief, clear and to the point: an ultra-compact version of the press releases key point.

News release headlines should have a "grabber" to attract readers, i.e., journalists, just as a newspaper headline is meant to grab readers. It may describe the latest achievement of an organization, a recent newsworthy event, a new product or service. For example, "XYZ Co. enters strategic partnership with ABC Co. in India & United States."

Headlines are written in bold and are typically larger than the press release text. Conventional press release headlines are present-tense and exclude "a" and "the" as well as forms of the verb "to be" in certain contexts.

The first word in the press release headline should be capitalized, as should all proper nouns. Most headline words appear in lower-case letters, although adding a stylized "small caps" style can create a more graphically news-attractive look and feel. Do not capitalize every word.

The Africa Press List

Sun, 28 Aug 2011 15:51:27 +0200

As a fast growing young economy Africa often is compared with emerging markets like Brazil, India and Turkey. There are many parallels but also many differences. What can make Africa a complicated case is the fact that Africa is not one country but 54. How are you going to build your brand in 54 countries? How to conduct your media strategy? How can you get in contact with over 10,000 African journalists in a highly fragmented media landscape?

Africa Business Communities has spent over three years getting connected with the African media. We have built relationships with thousands of African journalists resulting in the Africa Press List.

The Africa Press List is a powerful and highly effective PR tool being fully interactive. Our clients get direct access to this online tool that enables them to conduct tailor made press release campaigns.

So you send your press releases to English speaking newspaper journalists in Abuja, Nigeria, reporting on politics. Or to all French speaking journalists in Cameroun working for television, reporting on fashion. Or to all Portuguese journalists worldwide, reporting on African business. Well, it is all up to you.

We offer our clients both annual subscription to the Africa Press List and pay-as-you-go. Please feel free to contact us with your request.
