A media release, or press release, is a written or recorded brief summary or update item given to the media to broadcast. We often use press release for advertising or promotions for our businesses. Also, if there was a very important news, you could send tell the media to annouce it. 
An example of media release would be if there was an annual spelling bee at the county fair and the winner will advance to the state final to compete. After they crowned the spelling bee, they could tell the journalist to write about the spelling bee and who advanced to the finals. Then the journalist can print it and then more people will know about you! 
The media release will help this class because we can print news and everyone will know about the news. Also, this will help me to interview different people to get news to publish. We can get new stories from teachers, staff, students, parents, and more. We always want to have new stories to write about!
