It's no longer a dusty, dull repository for news releases that no one cares about. News releases neither news nor stories but rather promotion or marketing oriented announcements. What I write about and am creating for clients are active, working newsrooms, regularly updated, with legitimate news stories.

Companies need to take special note of Tip #1 where David advises companies to leave the "Sell" out of a release -- just the facts, with information about how to find out more. One huge difference to note is the whole area of SEO Optimization. Now that companies have the opportunity to be their own "newswire," they certainly need to frame stories that will be found.
