Press Release How-To

Release craft

The press release checklist journalists actually finish

Headline, lead, quote, proof, boilerplate — in that order. Built for teams who ship news under deadline, including fintech and digital-asset launches.

  1. 1. News in the first line

    If a reporter can delete your first paragraph and lose nothing, rewrite.

  2. 2. One proof point

    Metric, customer, filing, or screenshot — not five adjectives.

  3. 3. Quote with a job

    Explain the why. Skip the slogan.

  4. 4. Embargo or not

    State the rule once. Do not bury it.

Coming next: listing notes, funding announcements, and security updates written as news — not brochure copy.
