What makes a good news story?

The media is always looking for stories. It’s a win-win: you are helping them to fill their pages and their newsfeeds and they are helping you by publicising you and your brand.

Here are just some ideas for press release – do any of them apply to you?

  • Your origin story – the media loves people stories and you may have a great tale to tell
  • Something new – new product, new location, new staff
  • An anniversary or a milestone
  • Supporting a good cause or charity
  • Accreditation, like an ISO
  • Events
  • Expert comment on a news topic
  • Warning or a reminder that everyone needs to know about
  • Piggybacking on client news or awareness days

You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how many stories we can find in your business, that you didn’t even know were newsworthy. That’s the benefit of working with experienced journalists – we pride ourselves on being newshounds.
