When dealing with reporters, it is important to establish a relationship and credibility and assume everything said or written will be printed. The best time to get to know the media is before there is a problem or crisis. Tips for establishing a beneficial relationship with the media follow: · Identify which newspapers or stations are good vehicles to communicate the message. · Identify which section of the paper or broadcast is appropriate for the message. · Identify editors or reporters of that section or segment of the broadcast. · Visit editors or reporters and get to know these individuals--establish a relationship, introduce them to the airport, and be sure to have relevant information available.
