Media Panel Update

As we near the end of August (and summer), our September 17th AEA meeting is fast approaching. We have been busy confirming our panelists for the program, "Nonprofits & The Media: Strengthening Our Partnership." We are very excited to have the following panelists: Calvin Stovall (Executive Editor of The Press & Sun Bulletin), Sam Pollack (Editor of The Daily Star), Brian Sickora (CEO of WSKG), George Wells (General Manager of Central NY Radio Group) and representatives from News Channel 34 in Binghamton and WISF 15 in Oneonta. We are firming up the details for the program, and the Steering Committee recently finalized the panel discussion questions. The questions are:

1. What are some tips to get more and better coverage?
2. What are the best ways nonprofits can collaborate with the media to establish a higher local and regional presence?
3. What role do nonprofits play for the media, and what does your organization want from nonprofits?
4. Does purchasing paid advertising have an impact on editorial or feature coverage?
5. Is there an opportunity for input or feedback about editorials or opinion pieces before they are delivered?
6. What scenarios can you think of where nonprofits and media outlets could both benefit?

Let us know what you think about the panel questions! We are already planning for our last meeting of the year, and the Steering Committee discuss a follow up program that may feature a discussion with experts on ways to work with the media. Join us on September 17th and help your nonprofit community strengthen our relationship with the media.
