create a news worthy story for your mock company.

Social media is a quick, inexpensive channel of communication where companies can connect with customers and employees. Communication with the public is important. Why might a company need to communicate with the public? Is there a crisis or new product being launched? Who will release this information? Will you use a public relations firm, a spokesperson, a lawyer? How is it released? Will you call a press conference or publish a report?
A press release is a quick and easy way to obtain free publicity. A well written document may be picked up by numerous media outlets. Page 282 of the textbook says that “Press releases are written to persuade an audience that a company has new information to offer.” You can find an example on the same page. Now, you may be wondering when would I need a press release? Below, I provided different scenarios that might relate to your industries.
Companies use Twitter to draw in people’s attention to corporate news, products, services, and events. The forum allows customers and coworkers a place to interact and improve customer service. Twitter can assist with business development, promotional and marketing goals. Twitter humanizes companies and reduces the gap caused by distance.
1. What do you do when the food you grow kills people?
In 2011, a listeria outbreak from a Colorado cantaloupe farm killed 33 people. The Jensen brothers were charged with six federal misdemeanors.
“In a release, the brothers’ lawyers said the agreement is a step toward bringing closure to a tragic event.”

2. If you’re a lender, how do you reassure concerned farmers to expand or upgrade equipment?
The U. S. department of Agriculture forecasted that net farm income in 2017 was expected to be about 10% less than the year prior: ‘“After rising until 2015, non-real estate farm lending has slowed alongside the declines in farm income,’ the Fed report said.”

3. You’re a landscaper who specialized in xeriscape and anticipate a surge in business after metro Phoenix cities encourage homeowners to get rid of their lawn.
However, Ray Quay, with the Decision Center for a Desert City at Arizona State University, cautioned in an article that “scrapping lawns can also have negative side effects — a drop in property value, an uptick in the urban heat island effect and a loss of flexibility in the overall water supply.”

4. You are in the beef business and the news reports an E coli outbreak across the U.S. During the summer months in 2016, seven people were infected with E coli. The CDC, the Department of Agriculture
and multiple states traced the outbreak to the Adams Farm Slaughterhouse in Athol, Massachusetts.
In a statement on their website, Adams Farm announced, "We have narrowed down the point of contamination to two days in the middle of August and have been working with our farmer customers to ensure that none of that product is sold and for them to inform their customers. While we are very concerned over the USDA's over-reaction and its impact on our customers, we have fully cooperated with their requirements but want our customers to be aware that we stand behind all of our products and will continue to stand behind all of our farmer customers and their consumers."
