Many people could profit by promoting themselves, or their organizations, through media releases. Here are a few examples:
•Organizations who want to promote upcoming events
•Candidates for public office
•Authors who want to promote their book
This book is also for writers or editors who want to expand their services by writing media releases.
I’ve worked more than 25 years as a journalist and have read thousands of media releases. Furthermore, in 13 years as a professor I’ve taught hundreds of students how to write them. I know what works and what doesn’t. This book will teach you what works.
Hands-on practice is crucial in learning to write media releases, and unlike many books, this one provides information from which to practice writing a release. You’ll see sample releases based on that information and compare them to well-written ones so you’ll learn how it’s done.
I’ve also included examples of actual media releases I’ve received, both good and bad, and analyzed what works and what doesn’t.
Most importantly, every other book or web site I’ve read about writing releases approaches the topic from the standpoint of the writer. This book approaches it from the standpoint of a reporter and editor. I’ll show you how to write a release from the viewpoint of those who read them and decide what to do with them. This insight into the mind of an experienced journalist will enable you to write effective releases, because I know what those who receive them are looking for.

With 15 years’ experience as a national newspaper journalist and editor, Janet Murray knows a thing or two about what makes a great media story - and what doesn’t. And it breaks her heart to see people like you wasting time and money on pointless PR tactics.
Your Press Release Is Breaking My Heart is a practical guide to selling your story in the media - without hiring a PR company or even writing a single press release.
You’ll learn how to:
- Develop compelling ideas for media stories
- Write email pitches journalists can’t say ‘no’ to
- Get journalists to come to YOU for help with stories
When you’re doing it right, getting featured in the press can be as easy as firing off an email or making a quick phone call. Put these strategies into practice, and not only will you get major media coverage for your business or brand, you’ll never see PR in the same way again.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
'Janet Murray tells you what you need to know - not just what you want to hear. Essential Reading.' Adam Cumiskey, assistant editor, BBC Radio 4's Today Programme.
"Finally, someone who understands that great PR is not about self-promotion; it's about helping journalists create stories people want to hear."
