If you've found yourself asking 'what is a press release?' or 'how do you write a press release?' or even panicked because you need to write a release but have no idea how, read on...

This editable press release template outlines the structure of a good press release and walks you through key points to include. Simply edit the press release template (Word document), using its pointers to add the information relevant to your story. Even better, when you need to write a new release about your next story, just use the template again.
