Shaping How the Media Portrays You

C.J. Hayden, Contributing Editor

Wouldn't it be great to get your business in the news? Of course, you'd like to make sure it's portrayed positively. How can you ensure that the media coverage you get showcases your business in the way that you want?

Unfortunately, you can't. Newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and web-based media all have one thing in common. Their goal is to please their audiences, not to keep the good will of the people and businesses they choose to cover.

If you can provide them with an interesting story that is unbiased, informative, and entertaining, it's possible that they may present it virtually unchanged. But oftentimes, the story that features you will have its own spin.

Reporters, editors, and producers often want more than one source for a story, so they may interview your competitors or others with an opposing point of view.
