Journalists get around 100 press releases a day, often more. If you want a reply, make sure your press release is an actual newsworthy story, has a (good) case study or celeb interview, is relevant to the journo you’re emailing, or take us out for lunch so we know who you are.

Parkland Walk, on the old railway line from Finsbury Park to Highgate, is one of the best open spaces in London. If you like it the way it is, and don't think Haringey Council should pave it over, let them know …rklandwalkimprovements.commonplace.is/en-GB/proposal…
