Become a Media-Savvy Activist

Getting the attention of the media – be it local, regional or national – is one of the most effective ways to spread your message.   Media coverage elevates your issue, attracts new people to join your efforts, and gains the attention of your elected officials and other community leaders.

Here are a few resources from NWF to help you become media-saavy:

• How to write a Letter-to-the-Editor
