The folks at Alabama Arise were kind enough to invite me to meet with some statewide community organizers (despite the bad name that's been given by opponents of President Obama) to discuss their interaction with the media. To put it more plainly, to answer the question
How do I get my cause/issue on TV?
That's an increasingly difficult task because of cuts in staff at some TV stations. I hope I was able to offer some practical advice to make it easier for them and for the stations being pitched a story idea!
Today marked the third year I've made the presentation...like Birmingham's Do Da Day each May and Troy's Girls State in June, it is becoming a regular gig. To those attending..thanks for your kindness. And if I didn't mention it, read my weekly Monday Morning Media Memo as homework. Good luck!
