How to add contact information to a press release

After reading your press release, journalists may want to contact you directly. In order to let them do so, create a card with all the most important contact data about the spokesperson or author of a press release.

    Follow this guide if you don't have the card just yet or you'd like to edit it.

    How to add an Author to your press release

    After you create all business cards for media representatives and active editors of your newsroom, you can add them as authors if you wish. You can do it almost the same way as with Spokespeople.

    After clicking the plus icon in the Press Release Creator, in the Building Blocks section use the Authors option this time. The first person that you add as an author will be displayed on the published story with the description written by.
