The workshop, run by Sue Giles, will show you how to write effective news releases that communicate your organisation’s messages and help to build their reputation. The session will be very informal and geared to the needs of the delegates and what they feel they are able to achieve – no pressure:
A look at the local media and how it works
Details of local publications, circulation, working patterns and deadlines
How to write a press release
Who to send a press release to, and when
A practical session discussing delegates’ needs and the best way to raise the profile of their group and publicise events
Delegates will receive hand-outs detailing all local contacts and a press release ‘crib sheet’.
Please return your booking form to Trish Waters by the 16th June.
