The news release should also include the name, phone number and address of a contact person to give reporters the opportunity to ask questions about any information contained in the news release. This will alert the reporter that the news release is finished. New parents, club members, childcare providers and professional association members are some of the audiences targeted with newsletters. Newsletters can be written and distributed monthly, quarterly or even semiannually. Whatever the distribution schedule, it should be regular in order for those receiving it to begin to expect and look forward to receiving it.
Newsletters can vary in length.
They can contain graphics showing data results, pictures and other items of visual interest. Some newsletters are copied on the front and back of one sheet of paper, while others may be stapled or folded, and be as long as six pages. Ask them the preferred length, schedule for receipt and content of a newsletter. Finding writers or locating content is the most tedious part of compiling a newsletter. There are excellent sites and sources of information online.
