A press release turns company news into coverage — and the fastest way to write a good one is to start from a strong example. Below are press release examples for the announcements companies make most often, from product launches and partnerships to events, earnings, milestones, and awards. Each one shows the structure, gives you a reusable template, and links to what you need to write and distribute your own over the wire.
The anatomy of a press release
The format barely changes from one announcement to the next. Here's how the six pieces fit together — the numbers on the sample map to the breakdown beside it.
- 1
Headline
One clear line stating the news. Lead with the outcome, not the setup.
- 2
Dateline
City, state, and date, so editors know where and when the news broke.
- 3
Lede
The opening paragraph answers who, what, and why it matters.
- 4
Body
Supporting detail, data, and a quote from a named spokesperson.
- 5
Boilerplate
A short standing description of your company.
- 6
Contact
Name, email, and phone for media follow-up.
Examples by type
Pick the announcement you're writing. Each example breaks down the structure and gives you a template to start from.
Product Launch
Announce a new product, feature, or platform. Lead with what's new and why it matters, then back it with availability, data, and a quote.
View example →Partnership
Announce a partnership, collaboration, or program. Name both parties up top, then explain what the partnership does and who benefits.
View example →Event
Promote a conference, presentation, or appearance. Cover the who, what, when, and where up front, and give readers a reason to attend or tune in.
View example →Milestone
Mark an anniversary, rebrand, or major company moment. Put the milestone first, then the story behind it and what comes next.
View example →Earnings Release
Report quarterly or annual results. Lead with the headline numbers, then add context, guidance, and a quote from leadership.
View example →Awards
Mark an award, ranking, or recognition. Name the honor and who granted it, then connect it to the work that earned it.

What is a press release?
A press release is a short, factual announcement a company sends to journalists and publishes to the wire to share news — a product launch, a funding round, a new hire, and so on. It's written in a standard format editors recognize, so the news is easy to pick up and run.
What should a press release include?
A headline, a dateline, an opening paragraph that answers who and what and why it matters, a body with supporting detail and a quote, a boilerplate describing your company, and media contact information. The six pieces above cover the full format.
How long should a press release be?
Most run 300 to 500 words — roughly one page. Long enough to give an editor the full story and a usable quote, short enough that the news isn't buried.
How do I write a press release?
Start from the example that matches your announcement above. Each one shows the structure for that type and gives you a template, so you're filling in your details rather than writing from a blank page.
How do I distribute a press release?
Once it's written, distribute it over the ACCESS Newswire wire to reach journalists, newsrooms, and financial outlets. If you'd like help writing it first, the Content Pro team can draft and edit it for you.

Write it with the examples above, then get it in front of the right audience.
