Media Tip
Make your media kit a hit with reporters by giving them a little extra. That extra is a single page that lists additional sources. For example, in addition to a press release, FAQ and corporate backgrounder, provide a page that lists trade associations and professional organizations associated with your industry. You could also point reporters to recent surveys, polls, white papers and reports that might supplement information in your press releases. Title your page “Additional Sources.” And be sure to include contact information such as phone numbers and Web site addresses for the sources
