News Story
You should already have chosen an event, started to learn about it and contacted key people to interview. If you haven’t, or if your event has fallen through for one reason or another, here’s a way to salvage the assignment: find a local farmer’s market. They’re all over the place, and very trendy as people look for local, fresh food. If it’s a weekend farmer’s market, go to this weekend’s event to experience it and talk to participants: buyers, sellers, organizers. Gather the info you need for your press release. Then, go back next week to cover it as a news story for the next assignment. Your press release can include information (from good web sources) about the growth of farmer’s markets, local food sourcing, etc.
Now, let’s talk about actually writing the assignment.
We’ll start with the basics. You will be writing PR -public relations – rather than news. In news, you are expected to be objective, telling good and bad, not taking sides. In PR (and advertising) you take a side -you represent your client or employer. In most circumstances, that means accentuating the good about what you are promoting and generally not talking about the bad. So, you’re telling one side of a story.

First, read the tips on the page. Note that you are to refrain from hyperbole (This is the greatest thing ever! Everyone will love it! You have to attend!) Just give the facts.
Next, click on the link to the sample press release template. You are welcome to use this template as you craft your assignment.
Of course, you can’t write a press release until you learn everything you can about the event. That’s why the assignment (pasted below) requires you to quote at least two people whom you interviewed. (More is always better.)
