The Assignment:
Today's assignment is to write a press release of no fewer than 190 words and no more than 200 words that clearly introduces your company to the class. Consider having a grand opening or a grand re-opening as the event to advertise.
In addition to relaying the importance and need of your product or service, be sure people who see the release are aware of your company's:
name
location
contact info
hours of business (day of grand opening?)
and anything else you deem important for the public to know (activities and deals?)
This release is time sensitive and needs to make today's edition of the Writ. Comm. Commonwealth, which is to be printed immediately when the bell rings at the end of class. Please, write this press release in a Google Document, then, share it with Mr. Spagnolo.
If the press release arrives after the bell rings, it will not make the current issue of the paper, and your company will needlessly suffer (you will lose points).
For your convenience, here are links to sample press releases:
