Media Contact
From OttawaLulz
We need to contact the media to get them interested in covering our activities. The best way to get a news outlet interested in a story is to talk to a reporter on the phone. When you speak with them, be respectful, and know the facts of what's going on.
Dinoatemymom is drafting a press release to send to all the media outlets. Anonymous needs you to call each place and talk to a reporter, then sign your name and what's going on. (eg a reporter will show up and wants to interview someone.)
Absentis will be available at the protest to talk with reporters. Feel free to talk to a reporter yourself, or direct them to Absentis.
