I think it makes sense to look at the changes list as a whole and see if
there are any common themes in what's being offered this time around - and
consider building the talking points and the release announcement around
those themes. That's the approach I took last time around, and most of the
press folks I talk to seemed to really like it; some of that background is
documented in archives:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2013-March/014903.html

For proposed changes profiles - I think once we have the lists of the
broader set of features to highlight that we're writing into talking points
and/or release announcement - it's worthwhile to go through that list in a
marketing meeting and think about 3 or 4 different in-depth profiles that
we could do, and see if the change owner is willing to participate in the
process (IRC interviews, sanity checking content, etc.)  We are of course
able to do more than 3 or 4, but I think if we can at least define the top
priorities that is a good start.

Also: While looking through archives I found this note on the crossover
between docs and marketing on certain items - and it might be worth just
reaching out to the docs folks to discuss a game plan for this cycle.
