An article about the topic of whether or not a press release can be considered a blog.
When it comes to writing, there are a few key rules that should always be adhered to. One of these is to never plagiarize your work.
There are many instances where one might feel tempted to do just that, and in particular when it comes to writing about journalism. This is because, in many ways, a press release is essentially a type of journalism.
That said, when it comes to release writing, there are certain things that should be taken into account that would not typically be seen in traditional journalism. For example, press releases are typically written with an eye towards getting attention.
This means that they should be written in an engaging and compelling way so as to get readers (and perhaps even journalists) interested in what you have to say.
Another key difference between release writing and traditional journalism is the speed at which releases are typically published. In most cases, news outlets will only publish one or two press releases per day, so releasing a press release that is lengthy or wordy could potentially get it ignored.
Instead, it is important to strike a balance between providing enough information for readers to understand what you are saying, while still keeping the release concise and easy to read.
So can a press release be considered a blog? In short, yes – provided that these key tenets are adhered to.
