Write a press release for this announcement.

Company: [NAME AND WHAT IT DOES]
News: [WHAT IS HAPPENING]
Date and location: [DETAILS]
Quote from [NAME, TITLE]: [WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY]
Contact: [NAME, EMAIL]

Use a strong headline, a summary first paragraph (who, what, when, where, why), a quote, background paragraph and a boilerplate. Around 350 words, factual tone, no hype words.

Send the news in the first paragraph. Journalists rarely read past it.

What you will get

A press release of about 350 words: a factual headline, a first paragraph covering who, what, when, where and why, one quote, a background paragraph, the company boilerplate and contact details.

Why it works

A press release follows a fixed format because editors skim hundreds of them. The prompt names each part (headline, five W summary, quote, background, boilerplate) so nothing is missing and the order is right. The 350 word limit and the ban on hype words keep it factual, which is what makes a release usable as a source rather than an advert.

Common mistake

The quote sounds like nobody would say it.

Fix: Give the speaker’s actual words, even rough ones. The AI will tidy them, but it should not invent the opinion.

Also watch for

The news is buried under company history. The tip is right: put the news in the first paragraph. If the opening line could appear in last year’s release, ask for it again.
Hype words creep back in. Words like “revolutionary” and “game-changing” make journalists stop reading. Ask it to swap each one for the fact behind it.

Try a variation: local news angle

Add the town and a local detail, such as jobs created or a nearby customer, and write a second version aimed at a local paper rather than trade press.

Still not right? Reply with this

Rewrite the headline and first paragraph so a reporter who reads nothing else still knows what is new, for whom, and from when.
