In today’s web, aren’t they all the same thing? I’ve worked on many a site, this one included, that has had sections for the fresh user-controlled content that it displayed. Some of them were labelled by department and some were labelled by relevance.
It would seem to me that anything that the company is officially sending out to relevant news agencies would be considered a “Press Release” though I’ve seen many items of this nature posted solely on the website and nowhere else. The same with “News” or “Latest News” being in one section of the website and the only difference between that content and a blog-style page is a slight change of writing style.
I have my writing styles, believe me, so I suppose that, in the interests of Usability as well as SEO, I can taylor each to write something unique for specific subjects and place them in their proper area of this site.
I suppose that my Latest News will be anything noteworthy, such as a huge partnership deal, or attendance at an industry-related gathering (beers at the pub with a peer won’t quite count I’m thinking). So, we’ll hope for noteworthy here.
My Press Releases probably won’t exist in that facility, as I wouldn’t think that anything I’d be willing to send to news-related sites wouldn’t be in my “Latest News” section. Perhaps this will involve things that are too boring to announce, like a Quarterly Report or something equally coma-inducing.
My Blog is the easy one, as I’m writing this now I will always endeavour to be straightforward and straight-shooting, even if I’m talking about Nothing in particular. It worked for Seinfeld.
