The media editors are receiving hundreds (even thousands) of Press Releases daily and they have no much time to spend on each one. First of all, they look at the head line and if it is interesting, they go through the body of your PR. Upon reading first 3-4 sentences, they decide whether it is worth to publish. If the head line and first some lines do not arise any interest in them, they will immediately trash it.
