You need to choose the story you want people to know. Spend about 60% speaking about the issues you are passionate about.

Stories are what build brands and when we need to tell those stories first before anyone else writes them. Being a community leader you automatically becomes an expert or point person and people identify you with that cause so tell that story

There is fine line between PR And Journalism. As community leaders we need to work towards our public relations as much as we can.

Journalist are people who can help spread your message and increase your advocacy efforts but you have to give them access quality information so that they can report and talk about your cause

As a community leader you are an expert in your work but you can also be a source and someone to be able to comment on a story being done. Make sure you know your information and have good research
