Departments should send the Marketing Department information for press releases 3-4 weeks in advance. This allows enough time for the following procedure to take place:

• Writing of Press Release
• Revisions
• Approval from Department Head or requestor
• Approval from Director Marketing & External Affairs
• Press Release sent to Media
• Follow up for story or coverage

Information to gather:
Who, What, When, Where, and contact information.

 

Your department can gain television coverage, too. Provide the contact information of who may be interviewed for the story.
