@GrammarGirl - I listened to 182 & 184 this morning and I heard "press release." Join the fight for news release! [link to post]

I have been referring as news releases since reading ‘The New Rules of PR and Marketing’ by David Meerman Scott.

I understand your point that releases are no longer targeted to “press” but “news” isn’t appropriate either by that reasoning. Not all releases have “news” as the online distribution you refer to can enhance a companies SEO through link backs.

Like many words in our lexicon, the original use of the term may no longer apply to it’s actual meaning today. As such, I believe that using “press release” is fine as it represents a way people package information to bem, in most cases, distributed in some way – email, Twitter, online, etc.

Playing off discussions this week that PR is more than media coverage, I like what @davefleet says [link to post]

@Dave Fleet – I wrote something similar about this when it comes to the naming conventions for Social Media Releases/Social Media Press Releases, and although I think I agree with what you are saying, but for different reasons. I mostly think that “press” is old fashioned, in that it refers to a printing press. As news papers slowly fade out and are replaced by their online counterparts, we’re seeing fewer uses of actual printing presses and should update our vocabulary accordingly.

@Dave Armon – No body refers to their news release/press release as such on the actual release, so that doesn’t really matter for SEO purposes.
