Press release

Read the chapter (Links to an external site.) by Jasmine Roberts on the structure and format of a press release.
Imagine that you are the Public Relations account manager for a public television network. You are asked to
write a press release for their new nature show. You may only use the information you have. You are asked to create a logo for the network and show. The logo does not need to be fancy, but have some fun if you want to
be creative here. Here is the information you know:
Hosted by Dr. Sandy Springs and Dr. Rock Yellowstone. Dr. Springs is an award-winning geologist who has authored 5 books for children and 2 for all ages on geology. Dr. Yellowstone is a biologist who has authored
many field guides to plants of different areas of the world.
Airs Sundays at 2 p.m. EST on the local PTV station. Each episode is 30 minutes long.

time working together!”

never seen on screen.”
