What is Media Advocacy? The strategic use of media to advance a social or public policy issue. Shifts the focus from the individual to society’s laws, norms, and policies Is based on the public health model Targets changes in the environment 8

Goals of Media Advocacy Objectives are: To effect change in public policy, not just obtain media coverage To shape debate around public policy To communicate stories for the purpose of changing policies 9

Key Questions for Planning What is the problem? Which type of policy is needed to address the problem? Who has the power to make it happen? Who must be mobilized? What message(s) will be most effective? 10

Four Keys to Media Advocacy Key 1: Conduct Research Key 2: Frame the Issue Key 3: Access the Media Key 4: Using Epidemiologic Data 11

Conducting Research Key # 1: 12

Conducting Research – Why? Research provides the “ammunition” to make your case and counter opposition arguments. Research gives you credibility and sets you up as the expert on the issue. 13

Conducting Research – When? When you're trying to get an ordinance, policy or legislation passed When you're seeking to arouse community concern about an issue When important programs or services or whole groups of people are under attack 14

Conducting Research – How? Learn the basics about your issue –Example: server training, keg registration, advertising Know how you will use the information –Example: press release, study, legislative briefing Check all your facts twice – know stats Get help 15

Conducting Research – Where? Academic research –Library, internet, journals, Google Scholar Key informant surveys or focus groups –Police chief, license commissioner, community stakeholders Existing laws, policies, or ordinances –State legislature website and library –Municipal/county clerks’ offices and websites Surveys and epidemiologic data 16

Conducting Research – NY Resources Existing state laws –State resources on the New York Assembly and Senate – State Senate and Assembly legislation

Conducting Research – NY Resources NY Surveys and Epidemiologic Data –Various substance abuse-related data DataMart.cfmhttp:// DataMart.cfm –Available State and regional epidemiological profiles (must register as user to access; anyone can register) 18

Framing the Issue Key 2: 19

Framing the Issue What to include/exclude? Focus on policies, not individual behavior Focus on social accountability and institutional responsibility 20

Accessing the Media Key 3: 21

Accessing The Media Connect your issue to other stories Monitor the media Make the issue community-based 22

Accessing The Media (cont’d.) Write an Op-Ed Suggest a story Write a press release 23

Connecting to Stories Connect your issue to other stories –Search area papers –On-line searches of local newspapers Find ways to link stories back to conditions in the community (local interest stories) 24

Monitor the Media Monitor the media – chures/alcohol_outlet_facts.htmhttp:// chures/alcohol_outlet_facts.htm Monitor alcohol industry and local alcohol merchant ads Look for reports about research on alcohol-related problems 25

Writing an Op-ed An op-ed is a guest opinion column found in the editorial section of your newspaper. As a member of the community, you can use it as a tool to get your message out in the local media. Getting a community leader or champion to co-author may help get the op-ed published. Resources and suggestions – 26

Building Relationships with the Media Know who they are –Print (newspapers, magazines) –Broadcast (TV, radio, podcasts) –Social media (blogs, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter) rica/United_States/ rica/United_States/ Know what type of media your target audience prefers Learn how to best contact your target audience 27
