Reply:First of all it sounds as if you are begging the guy. If this is an announcement/statement for a non-for-profit organizational event, most radio stations and newspapers will publish them for free. You need to either email or fax the press release to them. If it is someplace you've not sent press releases to before, call them first to find out their policy and procedure regarding that. If you email the announcement, all you need to say is "find attached is announcement for PSA." And then give your contact info in case they have any questions.





When you are doing a press release, keep it simple and to the point. Write it as though you were doing a news story keeping in mind the rules of the who, what, when, why in the first paragraph. Here is an example of how I did press releases for the organization I work for:





Community News/PSA





Please include this information with your community events calendar and/or public service announcements. Your help is greatly appreciated.
