	Media and Communications Tools

These tools will help you work with the news media, coordinate constituents and disseminate information for your advocacy efforts.

Work with the News Media to Communicate your Message
Newspapers and television news stations are excellent, cost-effective ways to reach decision makers in the community, as well as influence public opinion. Keep in mind that your news must fit the particular needs of the media and follow an established format.
