Dealing With Media: When and How to Engage

For many community members, the local news media can be intimidating.  This workshop with LiveWire Calgary Journalist Darren Krause will break down the stigma around local media and how communities can leverage news organizations to get their neighbourhood information out to an entire city. By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel more comfortable reaching out to local media on a local issue, a great community story, or to advocate for changes to your area. We’ll cover everything from getting the word out, preparing community people to talk, and what kind of stories local media will latch on to.
