Story Basics
Tell me what you've got.
Let's get the basics down first. Give me what you know. If you don't know something yet, that's okay.
Give it a simple name for now. You can change it later.
1
What's happening?
Plain facts. What is the thing itself, and what is it called? Include the name of the business, organization, event or project.
2
What's the name of the event, business, organization or project?
This is the name a journalist would use to identify the story.
3
When is it happening?
Dates and times, if you have them.
4
Where is it happening?
Venue or street address, town, region.
5
Who is involved?
You and your role, plus organizers, performers, speakers, partners, participants, or anyone else important to the story.
6
Who is it for, or who does it affect?
Be specific about the people, not the marketing.
7
Why does it matter?
In your own words. We'll push on this later.
8
Where can people find more information?
Website, social, tickets, registration, whatever exists.
Your media contact information
This is who a journalist would reach. We'll use it so you never have to type it again.
You can change any of this later. Nothing here is locked in.
