Press Release

Reflection

This assignment was the second part of the brochure project. I worked on this project with the group I worked with for the brochure. The learning outcome achieved in this assignment was, “analyze and produce writing genres according to the rhetorical situation of workplace contexts.” We were tasked with producing a press release from the standpoint of a public relations professional for “The Proof.” This outcome proved to be difficult for myself and my teammates. It was difficult for us to conceptualize the point of view in this paper. We created many drafts to perfect the paper, so it read from the point of view of a public relations professional rather than a company president. However, we used PowerPoints from lectures and our textbook to better understand the rhetorical situation. Once we had a better understanding of the assignment, we were able to accomplish the press release with confidence. The second objective completed in this assignment was, “conduct research to create content for a variety of professional documents.” We learned how to format a press release from the textbook and lectures. This objective was the easiest to master but will still be useful in future endeavors.
