Examples of "bad" news releases

"Pelosi Statement in Recognition of Black History Month"
(Source: PR Newswire)

I feel like this is a "bad" example of a news release because it has no background information, history, or other relevant information relating to Nancy Pelosi or to Black History Month. All it is is a statement that she made praising Black History Month. There is nothing wrong with what she said, I just don't feel it is worthy of its own news release.

"Judgement of Paris Celebrates Plus-size Models"
(Source: PR Newswire)

I don't feel like this is necessarily a "bad" news release, I just feel like it is not as relevant as other news releases that have been published in the last few days. For one, it is something that is taking place in a foreign country; for two, it is expressing the opinions of the minority; and for three, it is not completely relevant in the U.S. as plus-size models here do not get the recognition that they deserve. I just feel like it doesn't have enough history or background information to back up what is being written.
