WordsRU offer a quality service for the editing of media releases and articles prior to distribution. In addition to reviewing these documents for correct English usage, including grammar check, spelling, tense, punctuation and typographical errors, WordsRU’s professional editors will consider the impact of your headline, the length of your sentences, word choice, and use of repetitious or difficult to understand terms to ensure that your media releases and articles are clear and straightforward, conveying all the information necessary to generate the response you desire.
The editing can be to either British or American English and will be returned in two formats; a marked changes copy showing the changes made and a revised ‘clean’ version that incorporates those changes.
Editing Media Releases and Media Articles - Tips from the Editors
Grab the attention of the journalists or the public with a brief eye-catching headline.
Display a date of release along with the originating city or location.
The first three lines should contain a summary of the news, with the remainder of the article explaining any background or relevant information such as the ‘who, what, when, where and why’.
Write in short sentences.
Always include a boilerplate. This is a short paragraph describing your company, products, services and a short history.
Make sure you display media contact information including name, phone number and email address of the Public Relations person or author responsible for the media item.
