Writing my first press release

I have not taken the Public Relations Writing and Production scourse yet, so when I was assigned to write a press release for the upcoming student media conference I was nervous. Much to my surprise, I found that writing a press release is not that complicated, especially when you have a script from the press release that was issued for the conference last year. Considering that I am a Public Relations major, and having a job in this field requires writing a lot of press releases, I find it very reasurring that my first experience with writing on was very pleasant and stress free. I hoping that the one's I write from now on will be the same experience, but we will see how that goes when I am not given a script:(
