Hometown News Releases

Hometown news releases are powerful tools for distributing positive information. They help colleges, departments and donors receive statewide publicity. These releases make students and their families feel good about themselves. If prepared correctly, hometown releases with photos are almost always placed prominently in newspapers around the state. If prepared incorrectly, they will be tossed aside, and an opportunity to see a student or donor being rewarded is lost.

This guide will help increase the chances your hometown news releases will be used by the media, ensure the quality of your photos and help save you money.
