PRESS?!

Hey all,

It is Angie!

It has been quite a while since I have had to send a press release! The last time was all the way back in 2019 for our project for the Women in Science Conference! 

Because of recent events, many publications have shifted around, changed names, or been bought out. So, our past contacts weren’t all still there. 

The process for sending out a press release goes a little like this:

1. Open a new email
   
2. Copy the press release into the body of the email
   
3. Attach any images at the very end using the paper clip-like icon
   
4. Copy “{{ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Greenwich Local News }}” into the subject line
   
5. If everything looks good- copy and paste the contact’s email into the “recipients” field and send!
   

The reason you add in the contact’s email last is so that you don’t accidentally send the unfinished email!!!

If we were to be sending something outside of Greenwich local news, we could expand outwards to Fairfield County news, Connecticut news, etc.

Look below to see the press release sent in 2019 compared to the one sent for this project!

See you next time :)
