press notices

Definition

Press notices are formal written announcements that a business or organization sends to newspapers, websites, and other media outlets to share newsworthy information. Companies use them to communicate things like product launches, leadership changes, or important business updates to the public.

Example

When a local bakery opens a second location, the owner might send a press notice to the city newspaper hoping to get a free write-up about the expansion.

Watch Out

If your contract requires you to issue press notices about a deal or partnership, make sure you get the other party's written approval before releasing anything to the media.
