News Release Template
A template you can use to create a news release about your event. A news release provides more detail about your event and usually includes a quote from the head of your organization and sometimes also quotes from other “VIPs” involved in your event. We recommend sending your news release to the media the day before your event, on the morning of your event or 2 days before an event.
