ABSTRACT
Fact sheets are focused on news or events. To communicate clearly with reporters, they should more properly be called news fact sheets (as distinguished from background fact sheets, which will be addressed in the following section of this chapter). News fact sheets answer the standard journalistic questions: Who, what, when, where, why, and how? They might also provide background information, benefit statements, quotes, and other information that the public relations writer thinks would be useful to the reporters.
