before you send your release.

industry. The fact that you have created a way for silver coated
milk cans to dent less easily probably won't get a second look
from your local daily newspaper, but the dairy trade publication
might put you on the front page. Be sure to send them a photo,
with YOU in the picture.

stories like yours. A policeman who had a story approximately abuse
couldn't get his side covered by the local daily, but had a topic
alternative newspapers loved.

5. Pay an email newsletter to run all or part of your press
release. Ad rates are down helter-skelter the Net and many fine
publications will consider working with you if your release has
good information their readers will appreciate. This same
principle can use to small newspapers and some broadcast
