Description

I need one press release on each of 35 subjects for a total of 35 press releases.

The list of topics is posted below.

Press release may be about any topic or micro-topic pertaining to the overall topic - eg. for one of the Press release about a location (city, island etc) you could do the article on, for example, the best beaches, the cheapest backpacking accommodation, the best luxury hotels, the easiest way to get there, the economy, politics, crime, climate, bars, whatever.

Press release must answers all of the "W" questions (who, what, where, when and why)

Press releases are to be rich in content, news worthy, easy and entertaining to read.

I DO need a compelling and exciting headline. Ideal headline is 80 characters long. I will accept headlines with a maximum of 170 characters. Your headline and first paragraph should tell the story

The supplied keyword phrase should appear at least twice in the first and last paragraph, once in the headline(If possible), and once in the other paragraphs. In addition, the associated keywords should each appear at least once in the Press release.

Press release: (These MUST be adhered to)
Industry Standard format for Press release, http://www.prwebdirect.com/pressreleasetips.php

Length: 350-700 words

MINIMUM of 7 paragraphs
Your headline and first paragraph should tell the story. The rest of your press release should provide the detail. We have a matter of seconds to grab your readers' attention. Do not blow it with a weak opening.

Pick an angle. Try to make your press release timely. Tie your news to current events or social issues if possible. Make sure that your story has a good news hook.

Use active, not passive, voice. Verbs in the active voice bring your press release to life. Rather than writing "entered into a partnership" use "partnered" instead. Do not be afraid to use strong verbs as well. For example, "The committee exhibited severe hostility over the incident." reads better if changed to "The committee was enraged over the incident." Writing in this manner, helps guarantee that our press release will be read.

Economics of words. Use only enough words to tell your story. Avoid using unnecessary adjectives, flowery language, or redundant expressions such as "added bonus" or "first time ever". If you can tell your story with fewer words, do it. Wordiness distracts from your story. Keep it concise. Make each word count.

No jargon. While a limited amount of jargon will be required if your goal is to optimize your news release for online search engines, the best way to communicate your news is to speak plainly, using ordinary language.

Avoid the hype. The exclamation point (!) is your enemy. There is no better way to destroy your credibility than to include a bunch of hype. If you must use an exclamation point, use one. Never do this!!!!!!!!!!!!

Title on top line.
