ALIA will send promotional material to newspaper librarians so that they can display posters or balloons, postcards. Radio stations - see media guides and use local knowledge to arrange radio space for interviews. Television - will need exciting pictorial opportunities to get television coverage. Send information about activities at least three weeks before Australian Library Week. Local ABC radio will be amenable to interviews - any of the scenarios shown below could provide a radio interview spot.
Television requires visual novelty, colourful events, and high-profile personalities.
It may be possible to target cultural TV programs on the ABC and SBS, as long as plenty of advance notice is given and those programs see some interest for them in your press statement. Above all, please let ALIA National Office know what you are doing and what is happening at your library.
