Writing Route

How to Write a Press Release With ChatGPT

ChatGPT can draft a press release in seconds, but the output needs structure. This route shows you how to prompt, edit, and format a release that journalists will use.

10 steps ~1h 30min For content creators Free

A press release with ChatGPT takes about 90 minutes when you follow aidowith.me's Press Release route. The 10 steps cover everything from headline to boilerplate. You start by defining the news angle: what happened, why it matters, and who cares. Then ChatGPT generates a headline and subheadline with 3 variations each. The body follows AP style with a strong lead paragraph, 2 supporting quotes, and context paragraphs. The route includes prompts that prevent ChatGPT from producing fluffy, generic copy. It pushes for specific numbers, named sources, and concrete outcomes. Users who follow this approach report that 4 out of 5 journalists use their releases with minimal editing. You finish with a formatted document ready for distribution. The route also covers boilerplate formatting and media contact block so the final document is distribution-ready without additional editing.

Questions

The key is structured prompting. Give ChatGPT your news angle, target audience, and specific facts before asking it to write. This route provides prompts that force specificity: numbers, named sources, and concrete outcomes instead of generic hype.

Yes. Every step enforces AP style formatting: inverted pyramid structure, proper date formatting, attribution rules, and boilerplate placement. The AI checks your draft against these rules before you finalize.

The route covers product launches, funding rounds, partnerships, executive hires, and event announcements. You select your announcement type at the start and the prompts adapt to match the expected format for that type.
