Description:
Headlines have always been important for press releases. Now, as even the most complex stories require summaries in 22 words (Google's preference) or 140 characters (for Twitter), they matter even more. Craft a dandy headline and your story sails; write a dud and it sinks, going nowhere.
Join us for this session on how to write good headlines. We'll hear from a seasoned newspaper editor and a veteran SEO meister. They'll offer tips for pacifying both regular readers and robots. As press release smarties, we'll chime in, too.
