Tagging the press release

  • Every new press release page should be tagged with "Press Release" so that it shows up in the press release archive
  • if the press release comes from a specific organization tag it with the organization's name, eg. "UNODC", and it will show up in the press release archive page of the organization
  • If you also want the press release to show up in the newsfeed on the Main Page, tag it with "News"
