How long in advance should a press release be released for an event taking place?

We are having an event and are hoping to get some press coverage from local TV stations and/or newspapers. How long in advance should we send out a press release to them?

What are some ways to break through the clutter and actually get some press coverage?

Bonus Question: How would we go about releasing this press release?
Tip for best answer: M$1.05
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

According to getthewordout.com the best time to release a press release in advance regarding special events should be sent a minimum of three weeks in advance to give time for press reporters to write and investigate about the story. The minimum time of three weeks is also true, for events promotion on the net like webcasts and special events.

In order to get some press coverage and to create some buzz the best thing to do is to look for ways to have the events plug in radio and television shows. In this way, the possibility of being called by the radio or television show for an interview on the said event.

i was in need o the question also when i was obligated to do a press release and i found out that a press release is highly recommend that your release be kept to 1 page. A word count limit of 500 words is required. Remember that short and to the point is best. Additional charge of $100 per every 100 words will apply to your order if your press release is over 500 words long. try this website it really helped me http://www.press-release-writing.com/press-release-distribution-frequently-asked-questions/.
