Press Release Proofreading Coverage & Process

The page structure follows a clear service journey: what is checked, how the proofreading pass progresses, and the standards applied before the final release copy is returned.

What We Proofread

Core press release components that commonly need a final language and presentation check.

Headline & Subheadline

Check grammar, punctuation, capitalization, wording consistency, and obvious readability issues in the release title and supporting line.

Body Copy

Proofread the announcement for spelling, punctuation, grammar, typos, repeated words, and light sentence-level clarity issues.

Dateline & Opening

Review the dateline, opening sentence, location wording, and introductory details for internal consistency and presentation.

Executive Quotes

Check quote punctuation, speaker attribution, names, titles, and obvious wording issues without changing the intended message.

Names, Titles & Terms

Flag inconsistencies in company names, product names, job titles, capitalization, abbreviations, and recurring terminology.

Boilerplate

Proofread the standard company description so recurring wording, capitalization, punctuation, and brand terms remain consistent.

Media Contact Details

Check visible spelling, punctuation, labels, phone/email presentation, and repeated contact information for consistency.

Final Presentation

Review headings, spacing, bullets, labels, emphasis, and other visible formatting for a clean final-stage handoff.

Proofreading is a final-stage service. If the release still needs message development, major restructuring, positioning changes, or new content, a deeper editing or writing scope should be agreed separately.

Can you check executive quotes?+

Yes. Quote punctuation, attribution, names, job titles, obvious grammar issues, and internal consistency can be reviewed while keeping the speaker’s intended message intact.

Do you fact-check claims in the press release?+

Proofreading is not the same as independent fact-checking. Obvious inconsistencies can be flagged, but factual claims, dates, figures, legal statements, approvals, and source verification should be confirmed by the client or an appropriate subject-matter owner.
