Live Discussion
Nonprofits get a big lift to their credibility and visibility when they get attention on television or in newspapers.
But getting the attention of reporters and editors is tougher than ever, as newsrooms shrink. And in an age of social media, some groups wonder whether they need to pay so much attention to journalists at all.
Read the transcript below of a live online discussion that explored those questions and showed how to increase media coverage and reach more supporters. Our guests offered tips for telling stories that appeal to journalists and shared strategies that work to produce the best results on television, in print, and online.
