September 28, 1990
Ms. Sue Cross
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
230 N. Michigan Avenue
Chicago, II, 60601
Dear Ms. Cross:
It may have taken the president to give Kennebunkport, Meine, a place on the map, but a 10-year-old boy is literally putting the small hamlet of Parrott, VA, "on the map".
Young Chris Muncy from Mishawaka, Inc., wrote a letter to Randy McNally last year asking that Parrott, home of his grandparents and great-grandmother, be added to the company's top-selling Rand McNally Road Atlas. Muncy often traveled to Parrott (population 800) to visit his grandparents and found planning the route difficult without the small town on the map.
Now, thanks to Chris Muncy's letter, on October 2, Parrott, Va., takes its place on the map in the 1991 Rand McNally Road Atlas. It marks the 67th edition of the nation's best-selling annual paperback.
The new Rand McNally Road Atlas, updated annually, includes thousands of changes from the 1990 edition. These include additions of towns, highways, state parks, rest areas and other points of interest that are vital to the traveler.
The attached news release provides more information on the 1991 Road Atlas from Dr. Michael Dobson, the man who "puts towns on the map" for Rand McNally and leads the company's year-round effort to keep American motorists from getting lost.
I'll call you soon to determine your interest in pursuing this story. Should you require additional information, please contact me or Jim Ileininger at 312/266-4550. We would be happy to arrange an interview for your with Dr.Dobson or Chris Muncy to further discuss making it "on the map".
Sincerely.
Jeff Beckman
Account Executive

Text В
Media Advisories
They tell reporters and editors about upcoming events and story opportunities in a brief listing of journalism's five W's and one H - who, what, when, where, why, and how.
The format uses short items instead of long paragraphs. A typical one-page advisory might contain the following elements: a one-line headline, a brief paragraph outlining the story idea, the five W's and one H, short paragraph with additional background information.
It's also important to indicate how the reporter or editor can get more information or make arrangements to cover the event. A contact and telephone number should he part of the letterhead.
Fact Sheets
A fact sheet summarizes the basic facts about an event, an organization, a product, or a service. It is a resource document to help reporters check basic facts and convey accurate information.
Organizational fact sheets should explain the organization - its nature and objective, main business activity, size, revenues, products, and key executives.
Event fact sheets may include basic information about an upcoming event in terms of time, place, and special guests. A fact sheet on a community festival may mention the purpose of the event, participating organizations and sponsors, estimated size of the event, location, time of day, and when the event was first held.
Fact sheets are often included in press kits.
