Get Press and Media Coverage
Find a story that is actually newsworthy, package the facts clearly, and make it easy for journalists and community media to understand why the story matters.
Have this ready
The real story, dates, names, proof, photos you may use, and one reliable contact person
1
Understand what press is for
Separate earned media from advertising and learn what makes a venue, event, artist, or community story useful to a reporter.
2
Find the story inside the event
Use a recurring music night, milestone, tradition, collaboration, or community impact as the story rather than sending a generic promotion.
3
Write the human story clearly
Build a concise press-ready story or bio that gives a journalist the context, facts, and voice they need.
4
Build the one-page fact sheet
Put the who, what, when, where, why, proof, contact, and usable links in one place.
5
Package the reusable media kit
Collect approved facts, bios, photos, links, and contact information so future media requests are faster.
