Most local organizations seeking publicity for events are not submitting the event details in the proper format. A press release is the proper format not a poster. Posters rely on the news media to do all the work and the organization may not get the coverage it needs. Facts may be left out and mistakes made.

Press releases should include the 5 w’s – who, what, when, where and why. Contact information should also always be included, i.e. name, telephone number and email address of the person submitting the information. All the facts should be presented in paragraph form and should be ready to publish. Many media outlets get hundreds of these notices and the ones in the best format almost always get the best coverage.

Here is a link to a presentation which details how to write a good press release: http://www.nearbynews.com/White_Papers/Press_Release.pdf

The ALEE string quartet L-R  Emily Allen, Eunice Choe, Amy DeMane and Anna Sardella

By Adele Douglas

Last Friday these young ladies played a wonderful concert as part of the Peru Free Library’s Music at the Library series. Although they are all still in high school (Emily Allen and Anna Sardella at Peru and Eunice Choe and Amy DeMaine at PHS) and haven’t played together in public more than a few times they put together a diverse and catchy program and executed it in fine style. Their confident and relaxed stage presence as they introduced themselves and the pieces set the stage for a very enjoyable evening. The audience was with them all the way and gave them warm and enthusiastic applause. It was a pleasure to hear the high quality of musicianship from these young people and the fine acoustics of the library further enhanced the experience. If you get the chance to hear ALEE in the future please make the effort to do so. If you’re interested in having them play you can give Emily Allen a call at 643-9898 or e-mail her at orchdorkno5@aol.com.
