Build properly formatted press releases with headline, dateline, body, and boilerplate sections.
This tool assembles a press release in the standard wire-service layout: a FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE header, a headline, a dateline, an inverted-pyramid body, quotes, an About boilerplate, contact lines, and a closing mark. You supply the facts - who, what, when, where, and a quote - and it slots them into that structure. The surprise most users hit: a press release is a news story, not an ad. Editors discard hype adjectives and exclamation points, so the tool's value is a structure editors recognize, not prose they publish verbatim.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Northwind Bicycles Launches Solstice, a Solar-Powered Cargo Bike PORTLAND, Ore. - August 16, 2026 - Northwind Bicycles introduced the Solstice, a cargo bike whose rooftop solar panels recharge the battery while riding. "The Solstice is the first cargo bike that can extend its range purely from sunlight," said CEO Dana Reyes. About Northwind Bicycles Founded in 2012, Northwind Bicycles builds utility bicycles for city delivery and family transport. ###
The tool assembles the supplied facts into the wire-service order editors expect: release header, a headline composed from the announcement, a dateline leading the first paragraph, a quote, and the boilerplate under an About heading. Everything else is carried over as entered.
Each input field maps to one block of the finished document, ordered the way wire services expect: release header, headline, dateline, lead and body paragraphs, quote, About boilerplate, contact lines, and a centered ### closing mark. Fields left blank are omitted from the output, so the skeleton stays valid for a one-paragraph announcement or a full launch story.
The city and date you enter are combined into a dateline rendered in the standard form CITY, STATE - Month Day, Year - with the lead sentence continuing directly after it, so the first paragraph opens with the dateline rather than a separate heading. The city is the place the news happened, which may be an event venue rather than the company's headquarters.
Formatting is the entry ticket, not the guarantee. Editors rewrite for their own audience, cut marketing language, and follow their publication's style guide, so the release rarely runs verbatim. What matters is that the news is real, the facts are accurate, and a working contact is listed.
Most releases include at least one quote, and many outlets expect one, but it is a convention rather than a rule. If you add one, the person must be real and must have approved the wording; journalists do verify attribution. A release without a quote reads flat, so a customer or partner quote works when no executive is available.
