Things to Think About…What’s your universe?Who or what are your strongest
stories?What conversations outside of your
program relate to your mission or topic?

You don’t have to be everywhere at once…Assess what your capacity is for
media outreach (financial & human resources)
Choose a few tools that make sense for your audience, focus on them
Always stay informed of new things as they come up (Instagram was new once)

5 Things You Can Do Now1. Set up some Google
Alerts /use nuzzel or newsle
2. Start reading the news outlets you’d like to pitch
3. Think about pitching as establishing or deepening a relationship – get off on the right foot
4. Create a content plan with associated topics
5. Be open to input & inspiration from other places (things you see on the street, parenting, pop culture trends, etc)
![Page 19: Media Strategy (for EJF at JFedLA - March 19, 2014)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051816/544502f9afaf9f7e338b4620/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pitching Your Content & Writing for an Outside AudienceWho are you? What’s your goal?Who is your audience? What do
they want?Which are the best venues for
your content? What do they want?
Figure out who to pitchDevelop relationshipsTry new things to see what works
![Page 20: Media Strategy (for EJF at JFedLA - March 19, 2014)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051816/544502f9afaf9f7e338b4620/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What Story Are You Pitching?The organization or program itself?An event?The speakers/attendees at an event?What is newsworthy about your event? (What
makes your program different from all other programs?)◦ Example, for NEI:
Federation investing in programs outside of Federation, trusting them to reach their populations best, raising their visibility
Federation serving as a convener, not soliciting donations or membership fees for participation
Federation providing professional development and networking to underserved Jewish professionals
Collaboration enables maximizing community resources, creates a peer network

Stalking Your Intended:Do the Research
Schedule “surveillance time”Read about the publicationFamiliarize yourself with the
masthead – what topic does each writer specialize in?
![Page 22: Media Strategy (for EJF at JFedLA - March 19, 2014)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051816/544502f9afaf9f7e338b4620/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

online community Patch LAist BrokeLA

Be an “all-star pitcher”Post-research, pitch the right person at
the right publicationGive that person enough to interest &
follow-up, not so much as to overwhelmGive the pitchee enough time to
respondA little flattery never hurt... (especially
w/bloggers)…but must be sincereMore important than one successful
pitch – forging a relationship…be a SOURCE
![Page 24: Media Strategy (for EJF at JFedLA - March 19, 2014)](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051816/544502f9afaf9f7e338b4620/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
And here’s the pitch…Respect the chain of command, but use your
networksDo you need to introduce yourself and your
role? (relationship)What about the program or initiative is
newsworthy, relevant, revolutionary, innovative, etc…?
What does that person absolutely need to know about the event’s logistics?
What resources are available to them if they’d like to learn more?
Who is their contact, should they have questions?
