Breaking down a press release

From PGN Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Most of PGN's gaming news comes from press releases which have to be edited before being released. This is because some press releases contain some information that are not for the public e.g. usernames/passwords which is why as en editor you have to be very careful when you publish press releases. For this article, you'll see a couple of press releases coming from different sources and we'll tag the areas that need to be edited and/or removed. It takes a couple of getting used to but it gets easier the more press releases you encounter.
