Before you send it
- Lead with the number that matters, whether it is pay, hours or headcount.
- Say exactly who qualifies and from when; vague eligibility invites the wrong questions.
- Give the history that explains the change instead of presenting it without context.
- Expect local reporters to ask what prompted the timing, and answer that in the quote.
