Assignment:
Write a press release in class today using the format we discussed Tuesday (the same format that is outlined in your textbook). Do the press
release on a Word document so that you can format it correctly. Finish the
press release before the end of class and email it to me. Let me see it before
you email it. Be sure to include a headline and your contact information on the
press release.
Instructions:
Use the stories on page 49 of your textbook as the basis for your press
release. Imagine that you handle media relations for the Bilford Community
College District. Your supervisor asks you to write a press release in advance
of Thursday night’s meeting to inform the media that the Bilford College board
of trustees is considering a new regulation declaring the campus off-limits to
dogs. The board will make a decision on the regulation at Thursday night’s
meeting. The issue is on the agenda in response to the hundreds of complaints
the board has received.
Be sure to
include relevant information in your press release as well as quotes that you
consider are appropriate to use. Also, conclude the press release with
boilerplate information on Bilford College. The press release should fill one
entire page and be long enough to include all of the relevant information.
