What is the standard format of a press release?

While we are trying to create a service that is both original and useful, certain industry standards make the distribution of press releases possible.

Our format for each press release is as follows:

Name/Headline - provide an attention grabbing headline of 100 words or less.  We recommend you try to keep it under 15 words. 

Date Line - WEYBRIDGE, England & MELVILLE, N.Y.-(PRSafe)-March 11, 2009 -

Summary (provide a detailed overview of your news release in approximately 150 words)

Tag Line - Includes the company tag line or other message

Body - This is the main body of your press release. It should be used to describe your announcement in a concise news worthy fashion.  Feel free to make reference to your company’s web site(s), web pages and, of course, your PRSafe profile for users to view more information.
