Remember that it is a press release and it has to tell the journo what it is, tell the journo what it does and tell the journo what it is again. And make sure that you put a contact e-mail and URL in the press release. I've seen technology journalists writing complete articles about websites without actually bothering to give the URL.

All types of subjects are covered, from sex to tech, cooking to kids, gardening to philosophy. Many online users now get most of their news from blogs, as they were very helpful in knowing what was really happening on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq, and there are many bloggers who have been imprisoned around the world for telling the truth about their countries and the regimes that run them.
