You need to email a press release to a journalist.<\/p>\n There are several reasons why we send press releases with email:<\/p>\n Seems obvious, right?<\/p>\n What’s less obvious is that there\u2019s a right way to do it, and there\u2019s a wrong way to do it.<\/p>\n And many, many people who send press releases for a living \u2013 publicists \u2013 do it the wrong way. I know because I receive their press releases daily.<\/p>\n Their mistake makes sure their message hits the recipient\u2019s trash bin quicker than I close Facebook when I see a snake photo.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t want to make their mistake.<\/p>\n I created a step-by-step video to show you how to email a press release to journalists the right<\/em> way. You can also read the loose transcript of my video instructions under the video. (To see the video steps better, use the “full screen” icon in the lower right of the video box.)<\/em><\/p>\nThere’s a right way … and there’s a wrong way<\/h2>\n
