  1. One quick little fix I saw, you accidentally put "www" in front of preston's e-mail address, haha that might not work so well. I really liked how you had a summary & discussed what the upcoming meeting will include. Also a couple things you left out are the boilerplate and then your media contact info at the bottom and the slug (-END-). But I love your headline (how it's general) and then your subheadline (more specific), those are great!

  2. I agree with Natalie. I think that your body looks good, but for sure don't forget to sum up the other things like your boilerplate and media contact. Also just a thought, but don't be shy to put your own style/flavor to it!!!

  3. I have the same problem with putting in my style and making it not sound strict or uptight - not that yours does! But I worry about that. Hopefully we'll be able to put our own style in the more we write. Preston said that if we don't have a public relations writing style that is different from editorial or newspaper writing, then he hasn't done his job as a teacher. So hopefully we'll be able to accomplish that! I like your title of beginning of an era. Very creative!
