I really liked your headline and sub-headline. I thought it was very concise and gave you the most vital information. Good job.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, I thought you did a good job informing of the upcoming commercials. That way people will know what to look for and feel they had some insight on the commercial. One grammatical part that I didn't catch until I read it twice was the word meat in first paragraph...it is there twice. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteYour press release was well written, I felt that you put much time and effort into getting all the information possible on story, into it. I might make one minor adjustment by putting a quote sooner in the story just to liven it up a little bit, but other than that... Great job!
ReplyDeleteI like how your boilerplate is detailed yet concise. I also think it was great that you included Opal Whitcomb high in your story to attract the target audience. A couple AP things I noticed:
ReplyDeletethe dateline should be GARY, Indiana --
(I think) Phone number area codes don't need the parenthesis, just the hyphens
You may wanna double check those, but I'm pretty sure. Great press release though! I love the way it's written.
