		Media Access Workshop Held as an annual event, local community leaders, activists, and groups are invited to meet with the regions reporters, editors, newsroom leaders, and public relations professionals who share insider tips, and detailed facts on how to effectively contact local and national news media. Tips gained at our workshops have led to at least two newspaper cover stories, and have contributed to successful media coverage of an untold number of other community events. Check back here regularly for the date of our next Media Access Workshop.
