Arizona, April 14, 2022 – McapMediaWire – Social Media Press Release (SMNR) is a press release format designed for the online media world. A press release is a formal statement issued to members of the media for the purpose of providing information, a formal statement, or an announcement. Press releases are designed to provide journalists with facts and information, so they can quickly write their stories any way they want using the facts we provide. By submitting a multimedia press release that summarizes your ad/story, you can provide journalists with the additional information they need to write their articles.    

Well, in addition to text, social media newsletters can include videos, images, and anything else that helps influencers discover, share, and write about your story. To keep the buzz going, you can start a “second wave” of distribution by sharing a specific story the news outlet wrote based on your press release.

Of course, we are all familiar with the traditional distribution levers we may use, including posting a press release on our website/blog, and distributing the press release to our followers/followers via social media and email. While most reporters still prefer to receive personalized, customized emails, one in five will continue to check for news sent through press release distribution services or newsletters. Some newsletters provide additional features, such as submitting your release to social media influencers, the ability to have your release appear at the top of Google search results, and even creating websites for your investor relations agency.    

Use material for press releases can benefit media companies, as they help reduce the cost and increase the number of materials that a media company can produce over time. The pre-packaged press releases save time to journalists not only writing but also the time and money needed to get the news firsthand. In contrast to the press releases, text-only, flexible, provides information press releases, helping journalists and editors of news stories to create a more attractive perspective for their target audience.   

Many PR professionals and journalists believe that multimedia press releases are rapidly replacing traditional press releases, with some bloggers and journalists even claiming that traditional press releases are dead. This can lead to media companies relying heavily on press releases to create stories. Ultimately, companies want to provide enough information so that news outlets have enough material to publish their stories about whatever the company announces in a press release.   

There has been a reset movement to change the way publications are written to make them more fashion-like stories, but I have found that most of the time journalists just want facts to complement their story. Often, business leaders and PR professionals are happy with their releases and mistakenly believe that if they don’t send out their releases on a regular basis, their media coverage becomes stagnant.   

Since the media is constantly looking to attract and retain readers on their platforms or websites, a press release with engaging content is more likely to engage the media and, ultimately, more likely to get publicity. By using the powerful tools offered by these types of press releases, you can increase your chances of getting coverage by newsrooms and ultimately important stakeholders, including investors, influencers, decision-makers, and consumers.   

Some public relations firms send out video press releases (VNRs), which are pre-recorded video programs that can be broadcast unedited by TV channels. Multimedia press releases are comprehensive resources that provide journalists with digestible, detailed information about a story with compelling content for media professionals and consumers alike.   

A multimedia press release now allows you to include videos, links to additional resource pages, or other media to tell more about the story. Using the Media Snippets feature, PR professionals can attach multimedia files such as images, videos, infographics, and even live streams to make traditional press releases more eye-catching.
