Press releases that have photos and other attached files are often ignored. Editors and reporters go from text – which they often copy and paste. Associated Press even automatically deletes all emails it receives that have *any* attachment at all (even a PDF of the release, a photo, or logo).

Releases can contain links to images and videos that flesh out the content. For example if you have a release about a new invention you can have link to a diagram, or a video showing it in operation. This can be important in releases to television stations but it must be very high broadcast quality material that will look seamless on their news program.

Do press releases never have pictures on them or in the thumbnail?

Could I please get the pdf or flyer format so I can post it to all my social media?  And, also have all Greens in the Forum spread it to all that they can as well? We should do this with all press releases... We're our only "Associated Press," if you know what I'm say'n?!

Surprise Green Party Write-in Candidate Laura Wells One Of Three Greens Now Contesting California House Seats: Will Challenge Representative Barbara Lee

Oakland, CA - The Green Party of California announced today that because of a successful write-in campaign it now has three November election candidates to contest U.S. House seats currently held by Democrats.

View this release online at:  http://www.cagreens.org<http://www.cagreens.org/>

Winning over 75% of the write-in vote in the June primary, former Green candidate for Governor Laura Wells will now challenge Democrat Barbara Lee in House District 13 in Alameda County (San Francisco Bay Area). Wells joins Green Party House candidates Kenneth Mejia in District 34, and Rodolfo Cortes Barragan in District 40 (both in Los Angeles County).

The three candidates said that they are running to end a failed Democratic and Republican political party dynasty through which billionaires and their corporations are running the U.S. government.

"The Democratic Party is considered 'liberal’, yet it is actually more conservative than the conservative parties of Europe,” said Wells. “Barbara Lee is considered a 'progressive’, yet she is actually a team player for the Democratic Party. In 2008, Lee voted for a 700-billion-dollar bailout of private banks, choosing Wall Street over Main Street. In 2009, Lee backed off the critically important demand for a public option in Obamacare. And in the 2016 presidential primary, while Lee's progressive district constituents supported Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton, Lee sat on the fence and did not endorse him.”

Mejia said, “In my district, rising housing and health care costs are forcing more and more people into bankruptcy, and even out onto the streets. There is no low or middle-class worker today who can feel secure living paycheck to paycheck. People live in daily fear of a health care crisis, rent increase, or another unexpected large expense, making them destitute, evicted, and homeless. The Democrats and Republicans have been in power for decades during a growing, huge wealth division crisis, and have not only failed to do anything about it, they are responsible for it.”

Barragan added, “How many more decades will Democrats and Republicans block universal health care? How long do we have to wait for the Democrats and Republicans to stop endless skyrocketing health care and housing costs? The Green Party takes no corporate donations and will never bow to the will of the banking, insurance, medical, real estate and fossil fuel industries that are destroying this planet and people.”

All three candidates said that from day one as representatives they would follow the Green Party platform and support full immediate universal health care, through expanding Medicare to all U.S. residents. They also stated their emphatic support of California Proposition 10, the “Local Rent Control Initiative”, which will be on the November 6 ballot and will repeal the “Costa Hawkins” loopholes that the real estate industry passed in the 1990s to undermine rent control in California.
