Our Homes, Our Voices National Housing Week of Action starts this coming Thursday, May 30, and runs until June 5! It is time to get the word out to the media and through social media! NLIHC’s newly released Media Toolkit provides helpful tips for getting media attention and effectively using social media.
Some of the tips included in the Media Toolkit are:
- Working with the Media - suggestions for contacting media members in a pithy, precise and honest manner.
- Tips for communicating and fostering relationships with the media and for preparing for phone or in-person interviews.
- Templates and drafts for op-eds and media advisories.
- Social media posts with a zip file of images to help your National Housing Week of Action posts stand out.
If you have questions as you contact the media about your event, or you would like additional assistance, please contact NLIHC at: [email protected]
If you have not already done so, register your event at www.ourhomes-ourvoices/current-events or email [email protected] to let us know what type of event you’re working on and how we can help.
And stay tuned for information on how you can participate in a national Our Homes, Our Voices tweetstorm and call-in day!
