ECORC Media Training Workshop

Whether it’s a sudden story that grabs the community’s attention or a unique initiative you’d like to promote, understanding how the news media work will help your church convey its message effectively. This United Church-specific workshop will give you practical skills you can use to highlight your church’s faithful response in a society that often assumes conservative and evangelical voices speak for all Christians. You’ll learn about the pressures today’s news organizations face, how to prepare for an interview and how to tell your good-news stories. Please note that this workshop will mainly focus on interactions with traditional news media, rather than on the use of social media. Bring your questions!

Please join us as we are led through this workshop with LLWL member, Nancy Payne, on Friday, November 15th at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church in Brighton from 1:30-4:30. Please note that this is an in-person workshop and will not be available on Zoom, however, the event will be recorded but not shared publicly and will only be available for a specified amount of time. For those who are interested and unable to attend, please check “regrets” on the registration form and a recording of the workshop will be sent to you.

This workshop is open to all and will be of particular interest to those who have media relations/communications responsibilities or a desire to strengthen these skills.

Deadline to register, November 13th.
