Media BootCamp June 9, 2010

Community Media Workshop Presents:

MEDIA BOOTCAMP
Led by Thom Clark

Organizers and activists can participate in an intensive full-day training designed to teach you how to create a strategic communication plan, use organizational values to craft strong messages and spokesperson training.

Conference attendees get four key takeaways from our trainings:

* Training: increase nonprofit communicators’ skills and understanding of the news process, allowing them to better access the media in ways that are effective;
* Sourcing: journalists get leads and sources from among a group that tends to receive ‘spot’ coverage rather than more focused and influential treatment;
* Skill-building: Connecting these two groups with web advocates and nonprofit technologists in order to develop a better understanding of new media to deliver their message and,
* Relationship-building: the conference builds relationships between nonprofit and news outlet personnel. Beyond more and better coverage of nonprofits, their constituents, and their issues, the outcome of our conferences has been understanding and consensus on where nonprofits fit in the news cycle.
