Cleaner Press Releases, Every Time
Category: Product Updates
A set of quality and formatting improvements that make every press release 24HRPR produces more polished, more accurate, and closer to industry standard.
Press releases have specific formatting conventions that journalists and wire services expect. Getting them wrong signals that you don't know the format. We shipped a round of improvements this spring that enforce the right conventions automatically.
Dateline Formatting
Every professional press release opens with a dateline: city in ALL CAPS, state abbreviation properly capitalized. 24HRPR now enforces this format on every release, so your dateline always reads BOSTON, MA or SAN FRANCISCO, CA, exactly as wire services and journalists expect.
No Repeated Release Date in the Body
A common AI writing issue: the release date gets mentioned in the dateline and then repeated awkwardly in the body text. The AI now knows to leave the date out of the body, avoiding the redundancy that marks an AI-generated draft.
Draft Title Uses the Headline
Previously, new drafts were titled using the company name. Now the draft title uses the actual press release headline, so your list of drafts tells you what each release is about at a glance.
Smarter Quote Attribution
If a speaker name isn't provided, the AI now falls back to the media contact's name for quote attribution. No more anonymous quotes or empty attribution lines in the generated draft.
Streamlined Wizard
The creation wizard was reorganized: announcement type now appears at the top, and the headquarters fields are simplified. Fewer clicks to get to the part where the AI does the work.
Embargoed Releases and Outreach
If you're running an embargoed announcement, you now have a direct path to journalist outreach from within the embargoed draft flow. No more workarounds.
Clickable Social Handles
Social media handles in the review summary are now clickable links, so you can verify the profiles before your release goes out.
