Media relations toolkit: Engaging the media to elevate sexual violence prevention

Thursday, October 04, 2018

Coverage in local, regional, and national media is important — news coverage across formats keeps communities and leaders up to date on key issues and informs public understanding. When sexual violence prevention practitioners engage the media, it is an opportunity to elevate sexual violence prevention, connect with new audiences, and increase your organization’s credibility and recognition.

This toolkit includes a range of resources to help build relationships with journalists and elevate prevention in news coverage about sexual harassment, abuse, and assault.
