A Media Guidebook: Finding Your Public Voice :United States Information Agency
This guidebook, although intended primarily for those who have not had experience in working with the media, is designed for anyone who wants to become more familiar and skilled in dealing with the media. It can be used by women living in rural communities as well as by those in larger metropolitan areas. Because we hope it will be used in many different cultures, we encourage you to adapt the contents to the needs of the people with whom you are working. By adding your own specific experiences as examples, you can greatly enhance the usefulness of this handbook.
There is nothing mysterious about working with the media. In fact, you probably already know everything you need to know to educate the media about your issue or organization. This book is primarily about helping you develop the skills you already possess.
Developing these skills takes time and effort. It takes courage to stand in front of a large group of people or before a television camera. One objective of this handbook is to enable you to give a meaningful interview or deliver an inspiring speech; in short, to get media recognition for your cause. We cannot let either nervousness or inexperience prevent us from speaking. All of our voices should be heard.
One of the most precious, hard-won freedoms is the freedom to speak and publicly express our opinions. Among the voices now being heard around the world are the those of people who were previously silent. It is a time for those who are knowledgeable about the media to share their experiences with those who are just beginning to find their public voices.
