Press releases begin with contact information on the top left and “FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE” at the top right. Below is where the headline and subheading appear at the center of the page. Next comes the body paragraphs, which must answer the 5 Ws. Less important, contextual information should appear near the end of the body paragraphs.
Sources can either be embedded as hyperlinks or included beneath the body paragraphs. The final formatting rule for press releases is to type three number signs centered at the end of the document. This signifies the end of the press release to news outlets.
