Press Release Template

A reusable press release template with prompts for headline, lead, supporting facts, quotes, boilerplate and contact information.

Editorial note: Press Propel is an independent publication. Commercial links may be affiliate links. We separate syndication, earned media and SEO outcomes rather than treating them as interchangeable.

Use this structure as a starting point, then remove any section that does not help communicate the announcement clearly.

Headline template

[Organization] announces [specific development] to [clear outcome or audience context].

Lead template

[CITY, Date] — [Organization] today announced [development], [one sentence explaining the most important context].

Body prompts

What changed? Who is affected? When does it take effect? What evidence or details support the announcement?

Quote prompt

Add one quote that provides perspective, rationale or forward-looking context without making unsupported claims.

Boilerplate prompt

In two or three sentences, explain what the organization does, who it serves and where readers can verify more information.
