News Story VS News Release
There needs to be more clarity regarding the differences between a new story and a news release. I will explain the two in the most straightforward ways so you can understand. News stories are usually about a person or people. They can contain a lot of information regarding a situation, for example, politics. If a politician is exposed about his controversial past, there would be a news story about it. It would contain details about the incident creating backlash and the politician's statement. This would be considered a news story because it reports about the main topic, informs the audience about the relevant details, and keeps them updated with the latest details regarding the ongoing story. A news release is information from the community or offices with different titles, such as communication directors. Journalists would use this information instead of coming up with it by interviewing the person or people. In simpler terms, a news release can be described similarly to when a college student cites information from an article for a research paper. You should now understand the differences between news stories and news releases.
I really liked that you used specific examples within your explanation to show the difference between a news story and a news release.
