Publicity for local events
We
need good publicity for Fairtrade events in our churches and diocese,
as part of our commitment to raise awareness of trade issues, of
the Fairtrade Mark, and to encourage change.
Try
to get your event covered in the local press,and also be prepared
to send in your own report and picture. Send one to us with an outline
of the event; what worked and what didn’t work.
Keep
your report short, and don’t forget to give your contact details.
It is best to email the press, but try to drop into the office or
phone beforehand to make contact with a reporter.
The
Fairtrade
Foundation's action guide for 2008 has a sample press
release and guidelines at the end of the document.
Try
to get an interview about an event on local or Premier Christian
radio. They are generally very supportive and pleased to have items
to fill spaces. Again, if you can please send details to us too.
