Didn't mean to imply otherwise. Just putting a plug in for how writing -- good, quality, effective writing -- is an often overlooked craft. Too often taken for granted. -Mike Sherrillyne: True, guidelines are needed. Didn’t mean to imply otherwise.

But it takes time and experience to master any craft. So I find guidelines like these are a good starting point for greener professionals. Mike I couldn’t agree more.

I've always thought about how much effort and information that really should go into a news release. You need enough and the right information to spark an idea, -- while providing enough and the right information so the media can use it as is (as some trades and small papers do). It can be a fine line -- and requires craftsmanship. -Mike Echoing Bob’s comment — great advice.
