Getting Our Story Told to the Public (or how to get attention)
Today’s Media Environment • Explosion of media choices • Media “clutter” is at an all time high • Younger audiences are harder to reach than ever before due to fragmentation and internet • Television viewership down – radio good
High speed internet access delivers video, audio and voice • Out of home media is gaining strength • Paid advertisers are demanding reduced clutter
How Do We Survive the Changes? • Learn the new technologies • Leverage your own web site • Diversify placements • Target your audience
Why is Our Story Important? • Educate the public about the disease and impact on society. • Provide linkage to people with MS and their families • Soften the market for fund raising work
What NMSS has done…. • Focused on individual stories • Kept website up to date • Knows writers and reporters in the science field • Target stories to market
