How You Can Get on the News

As you may know by now, we host a media relations foundation workshop that starts folks off with some tips about how they should pitch their stories.

Last week, we had the pleasure of being on L.E.A.R.N. for Life Consulting's BlogTalk radio show, talking about what nonprofits and small businesses can do to get their stories in the news. Check it out here.

We had a great time with LLC's Heather Butts, who asked some awesome questions about obtaining news coverage. To talk a listen to get advice about networking with reporters, tools you can use to get mentions in the media and what questions you should be asking yourself BEFORE you pitch your story.

Enjoy!
