Concurrent #3B: Leveraging media is one of the best ways to tell the story of your library without paying for ads. However, the art of media relations has changed: news releases are easier to prepare, media outlets receive dozens of request to cover events, and publishing content is immediate in a digital, live-streaming world. How can you stand out? Rediscover the art of media relations in the 21st century with a panel of library professionals from small and large libraries. Learn how you can create effective news stories and explore how to build longterm relationships with media partners in your community.
