Wk 7 Press Release (Writer Choice on Current Event)

41870After reading this week’s lesson and the readings to prepare, write a press release on a current event. You can find excellent advice and several additional examples in the supplementary reading for this week. **You do not normally cite sources in a press release so that is not required for this exercise. Remember the press release is not a long document and should only be between 1/2 and 3/4 pages long. Please also note at the end of the document the distribution you intend this release to be fore. If it is local, give the local papers, etc.
