Do’s and Don’ts
• Do’s:• Do select a spokesperson for your group before you release
a statement.• Do read the newspaper, magazine, TV show that you want
to pitch. Know the publication's target audience and their interests.
• Do pitch your story to the appropriate reporter• Do understand that everything is not newsworthy.• Simplifying your language and avoiding the use of complex
or vague industry jargon.• Do respond quickly to media inquiries and emails—their
time is of the essence.

Don’ts
• Don’ts• Don’t SPAM! Don’t call a journalist 20 minutes later to see if
they received your email. Send the release once, then follow up when necessary. Never harass a reporter.
• Don’t sent paragraphs upon paragraphs of text-keep it concise.• Don’t tell a media reporter that you need to review a copy of
the story before it runs—everything is on the record!• Don’t go on live TV if you have never practiced in front of a
camera.• Don’t do a media interview if you are not prepared for
negative questions. Make the time to develop talking points before every interview.
