CORE NEWS FACTS ! Bullet-points preferable
LINK & RSS FEED TO PURPOSE-BUILT DEL.ICIO.US PAGE The purpose-built del.icio.us page offers hyperlinks (and PR annotation in “notes” fields) to relevant historical, trend, market, product & competitive content sources, providing context as-needed, and, on-going updates.

headshot, etc.

expert
MORE MULTIMEDIA AVAILABLE BY REQUEST e.g., “download white paper”
PRE-APPROVED QUOTES FROM CORPORATE EXECUTIVES, ANALYSTS, CUSTOMERS AND/OR PARTNERS
Recommendation: no more than 2 quotes per contact. The PR agency should have additional quotes at-the-ready, “upon request,” for journalists who desire exclusive content. This provides
opportunity for Agency to add further value to interested media.
LINKS TO RELEVANT COVERAGE TO-DATE (OPTIONAL) This empowers journalist to “take a different angle,” etc.
These links would also be cross-posted to the custom del.icio.us site.
