Writing a Church Press ReleaseWhat if there was a way your church could communicate with hundreds or thousands of people in your community for nothing, or a few dollars at most? And what if I said that if you haven't done this before, you may be at an advantage to those who have? Would that be worth half an hour to learn?I hope so, since it is so simple!

If you have a church calendar, newsletter or other publication that you mail to members, add the local news media to your mailing list. As the recipient, put "Editorial Department."

She meant, "Do a story about this." And I did. © Copyright 1999 Brad Haugaard. |
