During my nearly three and a half years at United Way of the Chattahoochee Valley, I secured more than 150 media spots for the organization. This includes spots on local news stations (early morning and midday shows, evening news), magazines (feature stories, photos), radio shows (morning and afternoon shows), radio PSAs (15 seconds and 30 seconds), newspaper articles (feature stories, front page news), and blog stories.
Below you will find a few samples of Media Alerts and Press Releases that I wrote and sent to media, as well as PSA scripts that I wrote. In the Media & News section, you will see photos of United Way staff members and volunteers speaking with local media outlets, and links to some of the media spots that I scheduled.
