Tips on getting publicity (was: Lets get Ethical Veganism...)

[Guest guest]

Lesley,

 

I don't know if you're in an area where you get Metro, the free

morning newspaper, but I managed to get an AR letter published

(although they changed the words and it lost some of its sense!), so

they must be quite easy. Maybe it was beginner's luck - it was my

first letter to a newspaper. I think it works best if you reply

quickly to something in their current copy, send it in by e-mail for

speed and also then they don't need to re-type it - just copy and

paste . Oh, and make sure you mark it for publication. They did

have quite a few letters criticising the FMD slaughter. I think

short, witty, to-the-point letters work best. Sometimes they're hard

to write though since you can get het up on all the details, issues

etc.

 

I was also recently involved with a group tackling the government on

a (non-AR) issue, and the press officer sent out some quidelines for

getting published - I can dig them out if anyone's interested...
