The ALIA NSW branch Harbour Bridge walk mentioned above is a good example. The walk was televised as well as radio-broadcasted. If you want coverage, you may need to develop your event with television in mind - and time the event for before noon if you are to get into the news that evening. To gain radio coverage, you may need to identify a specific story or angle, and one or more good spokespersons for the station to choose from. You and they would need to be willing to go to the studio when required, unless the station will come to the library for an event.
Local radio is often receptive to interview requests.
This year, our themes for each day provide a range of interesting topics. Print media is the easiest to deal with. Remember, that 'letters to the editor' are surprisingly effective, especially if they come from one of your users or supporters. Remember to inform the free suburban press and community radio. Be prepared to pass smoothly to a new point if you are asked a question which you cannot or will not answer.
