Media Training for Activists
Start: Saturday, May 06, 2017•10:30 AM
End: Saturday, May 06, 2017•12:30 PM
The work you're doing is at the forefront in the fight to resist authoritarianism and defend democracy! Talking to the media is an important part of our work as activists--but it can be nerve-racking and intimidating. Let's fix that!
In this training you'll learn how to:
- Draft a media advisory and press release about your organization or event
- Find the right journalists to contact with your story
- Develop interview skills--practice your message and stick to it!
- Look and sound your best for TV and radio
Our training will be led by organizers and activist PR pros from several Austin-area indivisible groups.
You'll come away with a new set of skills and several helpful templates for media communications.
All are welcome at this training!
