Partner With the Media To Build Safer Communities, 2nd Edition

How can the media bolster your crime prevention efforts? How do you capture their attention? Partner With the Media is a comprehensive action kit that will lead you through the process of creating a valuable partnership with the media. This revised edition helps you gain insight on how to leverage mass communications vehicles—newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and cable—to advocate community-based prevention activities. The kit also provides basic information and suggestions for engaging the local communications media in the crime prevention efforts. You’ll also learn about new and nontraditional media—cable television and computer networks—and how to target them. The first edition was developed in response to requests from crime prevention practitioners and advocates across the country who wanted information on ways to maximize their success in the media and promote the use of public service announcements of the National Citizens' Crime Prevention Campaign.
