| Media Alert Template |
|
If the purpose of your announcement is to notify the media of an event, a "media alert" should be used and not a press release. Here is the standard format for a media alert:
MEDIA ALERT:
Headline (what is the event and when is it)
What: what is happening.
Who: who is holding the event
Why: why is this even being held
Who Should Attend: who should attend the event
When: date, time or range of date and time
Where: where will it take place, where can they park
Media Contact:
There are other items that can be important to add to a media alert. See examples of previous media alerts at the links below to get ideas of what others have done.
