Research 2-3 online resources related to writing effective press releases.
Each write a 250-300 word press release about a fantasy sports team that he/she manages. If you do not participate in fantasy sports, you may choose to write a press release about a local sports event or competition you attended recently (within the last 2 weeks).
While you may not end up in public/media relations, it is beneficial for sport administrators to understand the challenge of concise and effective writing.
Submissions should be uploaded to the appropriate folder on Blackboard as a MS Word file and follow APA formatting guidelines.
