YOUR HEADLINE
[Dateline] - News release text
###
It is just as important to give media good contact information as it is to give good copy for them to work with.
Don't try to be "cute" with a headline - just give the main fact and reason why anyone who is not a ham would want to read your material.
Printed press releases should be 1.5 or double spaced, but if submitting via the web that really doesn't matter anymore.
The use of ### at the bottom to show the end of the text is often appreciated, but also may not be used by some organizations.
Don't forget to send your Section PIC a copy!
