Dear Campus Organizers,
Here is a template press release for you to announce that you are a part of making history! You will want to to plug in your school’s information before shipping out to your local and regional newspapers. Here are some simple steps for you to let them know how awesome you are:
- keep your eyes peeled for these [BRACKETS] and plug in the right info.
- Make sure you touch base with your PR or Communications contact at your respective institution before sending this to the newspapers. They will either know exactly who to send it to, or they will want to make sure the right person from their office is listed as a contact.
- Try to get them to send it to the papers since they have the relationships with the Education editors and reporters.
- If they aren’t supportive, all you need to do is call the paper, ask who the Education (or Higher Education) editor is and email it directly to them.
- Make sure you get the person’s phone number too.
- After you email it, you will want to call and leave a voicemail to make sure they got it.
