  1. Congratulations Dave. You told me this was in the works, and I'm glad to see it come to fruition. I don't get the Madison stations, but my father and sister do, so you'll have to let me know when it starts airing.

    It's a start

    I've posted here before and read the posts on the trouble in getting media attention. We've been working hard to do the same. We put together a press release and sent it to over 25 media outlets in Wisconsin today. WisPolitics already picked it up and posted it. It's not a newspaper with a lot of reach, but it obviously has political connections. It's a start anyway. The link is http://www.wispolitics.com/index.iml?Content=21 (it's the second topic under November 19, in case you read this on a different day).
  3. Greg - you will do (or I'm sure did) fine. Let us know how it goes!
  4. Greg, I am just starting to go down the same road that you are with the media, so I thought we could share ideas. My mother passed away last week from SCLC, so now I'm refocusing my energy from her to getting the word out on lung cancer. Since ALCASE did not list Wisconsin as a state that recognized Lung Cancer Awareness Month, we wrote our governor. He signed the proclamation and sent copies to my family. However, that isn't even half the battle since no one knows about it. The trick now is getting the word out through the media. My thought is to take the opposite approach that you did. Reporters, newspapers, TV, etc are looking for "stories." I think if you personalize it, show how it affects a person, a family, a community, someone may grab on to it and do a story. Even if you know of a local "celebrity" that has dealt with lung cancer in some form or fashion. Plus, I plan on focusing on the fact that our governor signed the proclamation recently. I'm hoping to get the word out here as well, so I'm interested to hear any thoughts, others that have been successful etc.
