Now is the Time

So how long has it been now that you have known that your organization could use publicity yet you let event after event and initative after initiative pass by without a peep to the media?

Probably too long.

Each time you put it off, each time you say, "Maybe next time," you are delaying (if not eliminating completely) an opportunity to get the word out about your awesomeness.

The moral of the story? The time is now. Start your research and start figuring out what you need to do to get the news coverage to be the next big thing.
