This press release is a media release of St. George Bank which tries to convey good news to the public. It can be seen by its title which states information in a positive way. This press release is well-written and cites some good sources. However, it is too long and might take time for the journalist to get the most important information in this release. This press release is four pages in length and the journalist cut from four pages to one short paragraph.

When we look at the news article, it can be seen that a journalist rewrites every thing and addresses just news values. This may because he cannot cut out any part, as it holds some important information. In addition, this press release is not constructed by inverted pyramid. In the first paragraph does not cover all important information and it looks like an introduction.
