The WSB-TV Family 2 Family project and GCN are thrilled to bring our annual Nonprofit Media Summit back to the WSB studios! This annual event serves to connect nonprofit leaders with local media experts from WSB-TV, including on-air talent and behind-the-scenes staff. Find out what producers look for in a “good news” story, how to craft your media pitch, and how media outlets are adapting to the ever-changing ways we communicate. You’ll pick up tactics and insight to help you plan and execute media and PR campaigns that raise awareness – and funds – in service of your organization’s community impact.
This in-person session is exclusively for GCN members, but space is limited! To ensure access to as many nonprofits as possible, registration is limited to two people from your organization.
