The 'Write' Service
Media Releases and Alerts
It’s not as easy as simply informing the journalist at your local newspaper of the ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘when’, ‘where’ and ‘why’. It’s about making YOUR story stand out among the hundreds of emails that the media receive on a daily basis. It’s offering a story that can be used without requiring a lot of additional time being spent on it. It’s also about providing an incredible, high quality image, or offering the journalist an opportunity to get one. A professionally written media release is far more likely to grab the attention of a journalist, and has a much higher chance of being used.
Briefing documents
Informing management, staff and customers of an important or sensitive issue within your business can be simplified by the use of a briefing document. A briefing document provides accurate and prompt information on a subject or topic along with any background knowledge that gives context to the issue. Briefings can be used as preparation for media interviews, to influence the decision makers or to provide an informed solution to a problem. They include analysis of the issue and identify any sensitive aspects that may have an impact on you, your team or your business.
Q&As
Question and Answer documents, or Q&A’s as they are more commonly known, are an essential component to any media relations plan, however they can also help to outline and answer more difficult questions regarding an issue that may be topical within your organisation. As with a briefing document, they are an excellent tool for use when preparing for an interview with a journalist, or to accompany a press release. And they are a way in which you can incorporate your key messages into your responses.
