WHY BOTHER ABOUT THE MEDIA?

STRONG DEPENDENCE ON MEDIA IN DAILY LIFE

GETTING STARTED, KNOWING YOUR ALLIES

PRINT MEDIA: NEWSPAPERS

BROADCAST MEDIA: TV STATIONS & RADIO STATIONS

SOCIAL MEDIA: FACEBOOK, TWITTER, NEWS PORTALS, BLOGS

STRUCTURE OF TYPICAL MEDIA ORGANISATION

Head or Editor-in-Chief Deputies

Section Heads of News Desks (Politics, Business, Health, Women’s Affairs, Courts, Crime, Entertainment, Agriculture, Uniformed Services, Lifestyle, etc)

Journalists or Reporters He or she gathers the news or content by being on the scene or by phone,

Sub-Editor or Copy Editor He/She is the checker, quality controller, shaper, polisher…

The Editor He/She is the boss of the Journalist and Sub-Editor

OTHER TITLES Editor-At-Large Correspondent Bureau Chief Associate Editor Stringer

MEDIA CAN’T DO WITHOUT OUTSIDE HELP

HOW TO GET STARTED

START CONTACTING, BUILD UP CONTACTS

GET TO KNOW THE MEDIA: WHO’S WHO? BUILD UP A MEDIA LIST

STATEMENTS, PRESS KITS, BRIEFINGS, PRESS CONFERENCES

Planning the press statement

Inverted pyramid approach…

Intro…it’s the opening sentence at the start of statement or news story (it should preferably aim to tell the story all at once)

Body of story (include all useful details…facts, figures, quotes, background of subject matter)

Conclusion…sentence to round off the issue

CONTACT DETAILS Name of organisation or unit Person(s) to contact & office telephone numbers, mobile phone numbers and addresses Website address

BE IN CONTROL AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE Don’t be intimidated by journalists…you control the facts & news flow

IF UNSURE…DON’T GIVE PHONE INTERVIEWS Better to have face-to-face interviews

Depend on a written statement so that you have something to fall back on if things do not go well as planned

ASKING FOR RIGHT TO CHECK OR VERIFY FACTS

Absolutely important when relationship with journalist is new or you do not know of his or her capabilities at all

YOU CAN ALL DO IT! THANK YOU!
