A press release is a written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something newsworthy. Typically, they are mailed, faxed, or emailed to newspapers, magazines, radio stations, online media, television stations or television networks. In other words, a press release is telling news reporters something interesting that they want to share with others. Let's break the phrase press release into syllables in two parts. The first part press sounds like the word press and rhymes with dress and stress. The second part raw sounds like the art II sound in the words report, revert.

Remember the third part lease sounds like the word lease and rhymes with crease and peace. Now repeat after me. Press raw lease, press run lease, press release, press release. We need to issue an immediate press release because the last $1,000 we sold killed their owners. We already issued a press release this morning. No one believed us when we said the dolls came to life.

That company's press release was a complete waste of time. We didn't learn anything new at all. I agree. I was really hoping they'd inform us of their new technology at the press release this afternoon.
