Draft a press release about a change to a service

Turn the approved facts about a new, changed or closed public service into a short, factual press release.

Before you paste anything: replace names, CNIC numbers and other personal details with placeholders and never use classified material. Use only AI tools your department allows.

When to use it

Your department is changing a public service: new timings, a new online service or a temporary closure. You need a press release that tells the public what is changing, without praise or padding.

The prompt

Draft a press release from a government department in Pakistan announcing a change to a public service.

Issued by: [department, office or section]
What is changing: [the change, in one or two sentences]
From when: [date and time]
Who is affected: [which members of the public or areas]
What people need to do: [any action. Write "nothing" if none]
Where to get official information: [official website, office address or contact point by designation]
Approved facts and figures: [paste only what has been approved for release]

Write the press release in [English / Urdu] with:
1. A plain headline that states the change
2. A first paragraph that answers what, who, when and where
3. One or two short paragraphs with the details people need
4. A closing line on where to get official information
5. A "Notes for editors" line with the contact point by designation

Keep it under [250] words. Use neutral, factual language. Do not praise any official or the government. Do not name any politician. Do not add quotes, dates, figures or reasons that are not listed above. Mark any gap with [CHECK].

How to fill it in

Paste only facts that have been approved for public release. A press release is quoted as the official position.
If your department requires a quote from a spokesperson, write it yourself and add it after the draft is done.
Give the exact web address or office where people can confirm the details.

Before you use the result

Check every date, time and address against the approved file.
Remove any line that sounds like praise or promotion. The public wants the facts.
Send it through your department's usual clearance process before release.
