  1. Wanda, you can improve your press release by taking the following actions:

    - Use the appropriate dateline.
    - When using a quote, name the person who delivered the quote.
    - Correct punctuation errors.
    - Do not use hyperlinks in a traditional press release.
    - Double space each line and indent paragraphs.
    - Use proper AP style for academic degree titles.
    - Use parallelism in sentences that contain a series of phrases.
    - Use proper possessives for singular and plural nouns.
    - Correct errors in noun-pronoun (singular, plural) agreement.
    - Correct spacing after end punctuation marks.
    - Address all elements of a press release: who, what, when, where, why, how.
    - Align and use proper bold, italic and regular design elements for headings.

    Also try inserting an image of the actual press release, with a link that opens the original document, rather than pasting text into the blog window.
