On Monday I sent a press release to the Norman Transcript about Mission Norman's community garden. The press release was only about 200 words long and contained the bare information.
It not only made it into the paper on Tuesday, but it had a front page headline and my story was printed almost word for word on page 5! Mission Norman received three phone calls from people who were interested in working in or supporting the garden.
Then a news crew from OU called Mission Norman and requested to do a story over our garden. They came and interviewed our head gardener, Bruce Brown, and the director of Mission Norman, Gene Barnes. The story aired on the OU news program at 4:30.
It is quite exciting what a press release can do.
