SUMMARY:Making Headlines: Media Skills for Nonprofits with Jesse Wiederhold
DESCRIPTION:Getting meaningful media coverage for your non-profit provides visibility and is invaluable for building local support for your organization’s goals. In a fast-paced world of news\, it can be challenging to grab the attention of local publications. Jesse Wiederhold\, Public Relations and Events Coordinator at Visit Keweenaw\, will share best practices for engaging with media partners\, from writing press releases and pitching your story\, to nailing on-camera interviews and building a positive rapport with your contacts. You’ll learn the ins and outs of a newsroom and how you can make the media’s job easy to keep them coming back for more stories. With nearly eight years of professional writing\, journalism\, and media relations experience\, Jesse will help you feel confident telling your stories. This session will be broken into two parts.\nPart One: Getting in the Door\nSeptember 30th\, 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm at the Hancock Community Hub \nBefore the cameras roll\, you need to know how to get your story in front of the right people.

You’ll learn how to choose the right outreach approach\, craft your pitch or press release for maximum impact\, and present information in a way that’s newsroom-friendly. By the end\, you’ll know how to speak the media’s language so your story gets noticed. \nAbout the KCF Nonprofit Education and Networking Series:\nThe KCF Nonprofit Education and Networking Series is designed to strengthen local organizations through shared learning\, resources\, and collaboration.
