News releases sent via e-mail differ a bit from the convention printed release. An e-mail release presents news within the text of an e-mail rather than as an attachment. it generally is shorter than a printed release, often only five or six paragraphs. the subject line serves as the headline, making it easy to archive such releases. often the text of an e-mail release resembles a fact sheet, with subheads and bullets to highlight information for reporters and other recipients.
