Press Release Editing

As a Senior Planner at the Town of Chapel Hill, I had the opportunity to edit a press release that was written by a consultant for a Planning Department project. In the PDF linked here, you will see my comfort with editing a news item to ensure it:

  • Opens with a clear lede;

  • Conveys appropriate context, action items, and timelines to the reader;

  • Omits jargon and confusing filler statements.
