The Body of Your Press Release

The body of your press release should answer the questions who, what, when, where and why. When possible, also answer the question how.

The second paragraph of your release can also include a quote from a company executive. This can add to the impact of your release.

Your press release can be broken into many paragraphs but do keep it down to one page. Two pages are rare but acceptable. One is standard and preferred by the media.
