2013 NIIW Media Tools
Reaching out to multiple media channels can help inform a broad range of people about National Infant Immunization Week messages and your NIIW activities.
You can pitch and place print, radio, and television public service announcements (PSAs) with local media outlets.
Consider newer media, such as Internet sites, micro-blogs like Twitter, and social networks like Facebook. See Social Media tab under Web and E-tools.
Of course, include the more traditional media – newspapers, magazines, radio stations, and television stations. Below are materials that may help you in your outreach.
