Can’t figure out why the press releases your company puts out never make it into print or online?

Steven M. Stroum, the president Massachusetts-based Venmark International, has some ideas. His “Top Seven Reasons Why Engineers Screw Up Press Releases” lists these possibly “fatal” flaws: writing in “engineering speak,” not understanding what makes a product newsworthy, believing that more information is always better, and not including a professional photograph.

Stroum, who says he has written more than 14,000 press releases, explains how to fix these blunders. The white paper is available at his company’s  Web site.
