This session will be hosted by SACOSS Communications Officer Celia Brissenden, and SACOSS Executive Director Ross Womersley. Other Special Guest spots to be confirmed!

Together they will explore basics such as: what makes a story, how to construct a press release, where to pitch the story, how to identify a journalist and perhaps then build a longer term relationship, together with some discussion and exploration about how things might go if the press want to pick the issue up, including the key differences between reactive and proactive media, and the differences between radio/TV/print media.

Celia has a wide range of experience both in and out of the community sector over 10+ years, working in collaboration with the range of media to build and get coverage. Ross has substantial experience doing the actual ‘front up’ work. Together they bring an impressive insight into the wide range of issues that might surround working with the media in a community sector context.
