Writing News releases was already something I was partially familiar with from my internship. I was not however, familiar with lots of the technical aspects of them. For my newfound knowledge regarding lead paragraphs will definitely help me in the future because they are extremely useful for laying out all the information for the whole letter. This is something that I needed to fix. For this news letter I made sure to follow all the parts of a lead. For example, I named specific employees of our company and set the town of development as Seattle.
I think this satisfied goals one and two especially because it is a media related document that required plain language and replied on specific and concrete information presented in an organized way. One thing that was kind of a challenge with this assignment was developing interest. Much like the persuasive letter, I had trouble coming up with line that would drive the reader forward. I remedied this by using the class text book as a guide.
