Example Here's an example of a news release with details invented to provide an illustration:
Please publish no later than June 26.
Members of the Let's Clean Maui Coalition will pick up trash from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 1 at Valley Isle Beach Park.
Members of the coalition want Maui to be trash free for the health and safety of residents and visitors. They welcome volunteers to help with the clean-up effort. The group's goal is to clear one beach area per month.
The coalition provides trash bags to volunteers, who are encouraged to bring an ample supply of
drinking water and to wear hats, gloves, sun screen and sturdy closed-toe shoes.
"We're sick and tired of running across cigarette butts, plastic bags and other trash when we take our families to the beach," coalition President I.B. Clean said. "The garbage is not only an eyesore. If it gets into the ocean, it can choke and kill marine life. We want to reclaim our beaches from litter bugs."
For more information, contact Clean at 222-5353. The group's Web site can be found at www.cleanmaui.org.
If submitting a photo, please make sure to provide complete information. For example, using a photo for the invented beach cleanup, a caption might look like this:
Let's Clean Maui Coalition President I.B. Clean (far left) leans over to pick up a discarded soda can at Kanaha Beach Park last month while coalition members (left to right) John Doe and Jane Smith carry trash bags. The coalition's goal is to clean one Maui beach area each month.
