There is an overall rule of thumb when writing a good press release, that is the information that you give throughout the press release needs to focus on being very consequential.  Who would read the press release if the information is not relevant to what the press release is about?  Be smart about the information you published, that is rule number one.  Do not advertise within your press release.  Informative information is much better that a pitch about your product or service that you offer.  Sometimes this can get confusing with your readers and that is not what you want.  Simple clarity is the way to approach within your press release.

Always put yourself in the shoes of your customers if they were reading your write up. If at any point of reading your write up you feel the slightest confusion or misleading then stop and change your press release.  To put this in layman terms, if you don't like the content then chances are no one else will like it either.  Your first paragraph is crucial so put extra emphasis on it.  The idea behind this is to create a good first impression.  If you capture the reader’s attention in the first paragraph, then they will continue to read the whole press release.

A press release does have the higher authority over all other publicity methods. With your write up being a press release, this will automatically grab your reader’s attention for a longer period of time rather than it being an article.  With that being said, credible sources such as: editors, columnists, and reviewers tend to be trusted with a higher rate.  Editors don't publish content that is not well written.
