Traditional Media Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the News Kelley Freeman Communications Associate Secular Student

Why do traditional media? To get eyes on your group, duh. Get your group in searches Political legitimacy!

How do you get media attention? Be newsworthy. Target the correct outlets. Have a compelling message. PREPARE. Deliver it properly!

So, what’s newsworthy? Host creative events. Partner with other organizations. Offer counter-intuitive points of view. Be first.

What outlets? Right region. Right audience. Right beat. Use your relationships! Campus > Local > Blogs? > National

Compelling message, what? You have a story, but you have to…

PREPARE Come up with talking points, quotes. Do mock interviews. Stay on message. Consider objections. Don’t get distracted.

Deliver what now? Follow guidelines for submission! Be timely. Be polite. Follow up!

Okay, yeah, but how get media? Letters to the Editor Press Releases! Media Advisory Statements Right time, right place

We just sent a letter… Feel strongly about an issue. Correcting a misconception Want people to take specific action. Influence public opinion/policy. Honoring an anniversary.

Wait, what kind of letter? Opinionated! Timely. Speak on behalf of your group. Reflect your community. End with an invitation.

Stop the presses! Pre-written, pre-packaged, ready to go article! Announces breaking news. Objective, with opinions as quotes. Sent early in the week, early in the day. Plain text, proper format

Format! WE HAVE SO MANY SAMPLE PRESS RELEASES FOR YOU

Media Advisory One page sheet. Alerts reporters to an upcoming event. Make it easy for reporters to quickly figure out the details. Essentially an invitation.

Statements Written in first person. People already know the story – you’re giving your commentary. Make every sentence count. Include contact information.

Regardless, follow up! Don’t ask if they got it. “Did you have any questions?” Opportunity to pitch your story to real live human! Take their advice.

Right time, right place. Sometimes, that’s all it takes.
