The Office of Public Relations has produced a template for use by campus communicators in creating news releases. In general, text is set in 12-point Arial (though you may use 11 point if it’s a matter of avoiding an extra page); heads are flush left and set in 14-point type size (though 12 point is acceptable if the head is long); paragraphs are indented and line spacing is 1.5 with no line of space between the paragraphs; and datelines aren’t used with in-state releases.
