Presentation transcript:

Media Outreach and Effectiveness Keeping Your Community Informed

Public Information In order to be effective, conservation districts need to inform their communities of their activities Keep the public informed of plans of work and accomplishments If (when) controversies arise, a good working relationship with the media can help get your message out quickly and accurately

Public Relations Strategy Accuracy Crisis Management Media Policy Spokespeople

Get the Message Straight Designate one person to be the district’s spokesperson (manager, chairman, supervisor) However, everyone should be informed Spokesperson must understand the issues, goals and concerns of the district in order to give clear, concise and factual information

Focus on the News One message at a time for short news stories or radio briefs Do NOT give personal opinions Use “the board” “the conservation district”

Building Media Relationships Take time to develop relationships Go to lunch, host media at events, cover expenses Nominate for awards Keep Media Contact List up to date Buy advertising space Send thank-you to contacts whether or not your story ran

Press Release Structure Call your contact for format – fax, , hard copy, etc. Answer the questions Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? One page in length Typed and double spaced Covers one subject Include contact person’s name and number

Press Release Structure (continued) Make it Interesting Include a catchy lead, or something memorable in the first paragraph Include high quality, action photos and photo cutlines whenever possible

Interviews Respond quickly to requests for interviews Be prepared, always know the topic Make your points clear Develop a 3-point message to ensure message is effective Call back if you aren’t prepared

Interviews (continued) Bridge when asked about an issue not related to your topic Dress professionally Never go “off the record” Don’t discuss what you don’t understand – it’s okay to say “I don’t know, but I’ll get back to you with a correct answer.”

Summary Know what you want to say Be knowledgeable, concise and focused Don’t use “I” Relax Treat the media fairly and professionally
