================== ARTICLE START ==================
Contact information is by far the most important part of your
press release and you need to make sure that you provide enough
information so that a reader of the press release will be able
to reach you. There are some news publications that will take
your press release and write a news story without contacting
you; however, most news sources who want to base a story off of
your press releases will attempt to contact you before they
write an article to get more information and their own quotes.
If their request is not met in an appropriate time frame, they
will go with another company. As a result, it is very important
that you include a phone number and / or e-mail address that you
check frequently so that writers and journalists will be able to
contact you and get the information they need quickly.

I know that some will not want to give their personal
information as any one will have access to your e-mail address
or telephone number and as a result, I suggest that you create
a new e-mail account for press releases where journalists can
contact you. pr@domain.com is a very common e-mail address for
the public relations department of a company or web site. Many
companies who are large enough to have their own public
relations expert or press release staff use the business e-mail
address of their PR personnel to handle all requests for more
information.

I know that when many people register at a new web site, they
often give fake or incorrect information but a press release
distribution web site is the last place you want to do this. If
these distribution services realize that the information you
gave does not match up, they may not even send out your press
release and terminate your account.

Bottom Line: Most journalists and writers who want to write a
press release about you or your company will request and
require further information before publishing your release so
it is vital that you provide correct information in the
�Contact Us� section of the press release. If a journalist can
not contact you within a reasonable time frame of sending a
press request, your news will not be covered and the purpose of
the press release will be defeated. Simply put, make sure you
can easily be contacted by those who are interested in writing
a story based off your press release.
