I have a small Internet business and have done a few press releases in the past, but nothing serious. In the past I have sent them out last minute with the generic header of “For Immediate Release”

I’m getting ready to release a new product and want to do it the right way this time. So, are you supposed to send them out a day ahead and put “immediate release”, or is it actually preferred to send them ahead of time and put something like “release on June 29, 2007″ to give them some planning time?

I can see the advantage of sending them early [not sure how early?]. But I would also assume that if sent early that they may be forgotten about by the time the date actually comes along. Any thoughts? Thank you!

I’m running a political campaign and will be sending out a press release to all the local media contacts tomorrow. How do I get them to notice it? I’m sure they get a lot of press releases and ignore most of them. Should I paste the text of it into the email and also attach it as an attachment? If it’s a mass email how do I address it — “Dear Member of the Press”?

I’m trying to get a Press Release onto Yahoo News and the only way I know is through PRWeb where you have to pay for it. Can anyone tell me how to get it onto Yahoo without paying?

I know that in a press release, the journalists use the information given to them in the favor that would benefit them the most. But isn’t an academic paper a similar thing. Since the thesis is either against or for a topic?
