イギリスのカンニング騒動でどのようなプレスリリースを出しているか確認するためにETSのサイトを訪問してみました。残念ながらその件については見つけられなかったのですが、ビジネスでの英語の重要性を訴えて、TOEICをアピールするプロモーションサイトWhy English Mattersが開設されていたのを知りました。
TOEIC® Program Launches New 'Why English Matters' Website
Web-based documentary series spotlights the importance of English communication in international business
Princeton, NJ (April 9, 2014) —
The TOEIC Program recently launched Why English Matters, a new content-based website that seeks to build awareness and share information about the important role that English-language proficiency plays in the global economy.
Why English Matters features a new video documentary series that explores the role of English through interviews with human resource managers and decision makers from leading global organizations. The site also features related research and news articles about the impact of effective English communication skills for the international workforce.
"Since English is the official language of more than 70 countries, it is crucial for businesses that operate in a global economy to maintain a labor pool that is composed of competent English language communicators," said David Hunt, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of ETS's Global Division. "Through the Why English Matters site, we can provide these important stakeholders with the most relevant, up-to-date information and resources for developing and maintaining a capable English speaking workforce."
基本的なプレスリリースのパラグラフ構成、発表事項のまとめ、詳細の補足、担当者のコメントという流れをこのプレスリリースも従っています。「詳細の補足」で以下のように説明しているように、サイトでは動画とデータ、メディア記事の３つで構成されています。
