Not long after formatting this, an "updated" version came through. Because it takes about an hour to format these long releases, I simply replaced the schedule photo at the bottom with the one included in the "update."
I do not like to release incorrect information, but on a cursory examination of the update, nothing immediate stood-out (of course, I certainly could have overlooked anything that was there) and the picture included seemed to include everything in the PR, just without the details.
Formatting includes italicizing magazine and periodical titles, boldfacing book and novel titles, and so forth. This is correct form. It also includes adding links to supporting information and the like.
