News Release A news release is a document or statement issued to the news media to announce breaking news or to offer reaction to others who make news.

Information Bulletin The Government of Alberta issues information bulletins to share important information with Albertans through the news media. Information bulletins differ from news releases in the urgency or newsworthiness of the subject. For example, a news release would be issued to announce significant funding for a new provincial park, while an information bulletin could be issued to announce annual 'parks day' activities.

Public Service Announcement A public service announcement is an announcement that serves the public interest or promotes social or community causes.

Travellers' Advisory Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation alerts Albertans to road closures, construction, or other travel disruptions.
