What to look for in a Press Release freelancer
A strong press release writer finds the actual news angle and writes to the standards editors expect. Look for:
- A nose for the angle, spotting why your news is worth covering.
- Command of the format: headline, lede, boilerplate, and quotes in the right structure.
- A clean, neutral tone, newsy rather than salesy, so it reads as reporting.
- An understanding of media, who receives it and what makes them open it.
- Published clips, releases that were actually picked up or run.
Ask how they would headline your announcement in one line. If the angle is dull, the coverage will be too.
