Industry Behavior the Gets Positive Press 1. Action speaks louder than words. Address issues by taking action on them. 2. Saying something speaks louder than saying nothing. Don’t try to avoid the media, or avoid the issues. Address the situation at hand. 3. Be honest and open.

Journalists want: stories, stories, stories “news” means “new”s

How to Get Your Story Told. Tell the media: 1. What’s the headline? The one, big takeaway point? Clarify, in one sentence, what the story is. 2. Why now? Why is this news today, versus, say, a year ago, or a year from now? 3. Why does this matter to my audience? Why should they care? Is there a consumer benefit? A policy implication? A social ramification? 4. What’s the storyline? Is it about a person, a discovery, a new insight? How might the story begin and end?
