How to Get Publicity in Your Town
Thank you for your
participation in this exciting event. News about young people who are participating in
global learning projects on the Internet is exciting stuff! It's important
that our students have the opportunity to learn about technology in as many
positive ways as we can provide and it is very valuable for youth to be
ambassadors for their projects. Tackling a community-based learning project
at your school or organization presents a perfect opportunity for you to seek
positive publicity in your local area.
This section is provided to give you
some basic steps to
achieve the recognition you deserve. Please don't be concerned if you have not done this
before. Newspapers, radio programs and TV news in your area will want to report about local
events with national and international connections.
Good luck with your media exposure endeavors. We would love to receive copies of your news articles, videos, or radio interviews. Please email us the links to the stories, or send us hard copies to:

blanks" template for you to use in composing your press advisory.

Press Release Template:
- A press release is a document that lets the media know the facts about an event that has
already taken place. You should send out a Press Release after your event has happened to
