Tips for Communicating to the Media and Elected Officials
1. Be quick. Respond while the issue is still fresh. Ideally, write or call within
24 hours.
2. Be clear. If you cannot summarize your message in one or two sentences, it's
not clear enough in your mind. Pinpoint in stark, clear terms what you want
to communicate.
3. Be specific.
Media: Educate don't alienate. Why was it good or bad? Did it show a lack
of context or balance or omit key facts? Identify your goal; is it to convince
the reporter, inform the public or something else?
Elected Officials: Praise, question or request specific actions. If vou can't
speak with the official, don't fret; staff is very important.
4. Be concise. It's better to fully explain one point than inadequately cover
five. Be direct and to the point. Let them respond. If they can't answer your
questions, ask when you will hear back.
