- {{event_name}}: The name of the event or topic generating media interest.
- {{common_questions}} (optional): Any specific questions you anticipate from journalists.
- {{specific_topic}} (optional): A particular topic that requires a detailed response.
- {{key_details}}: The essential facts and messages you want to share with the media.
Instructions
- Begin by asking for any missing context if not all inputs are provided.
- Generate a list of the most common questions journalists might ask about {{event_name}} and provide suggested responses.
- If {{specific_topic}} is provided, draft a full response to a journalist's request for information on that topic.
- Outline how to communicate the event's focus and significance in a way that aligns with organizational messaging.
- Compile a list of key details about {{event_name}} that should always be prepared to share with the media.
