‘How to Work with the Media'

How to deal with the mediaThis booklet has been designed to help people working and volunteering for national MS Societies to develop positive and constructive relationships with the media, on the local, regional and national level. Staff and volunteers from national MS Societies in different countries will relate to the booklet in different ways, depending on their experience of working with the media and their unique cultural setting. However, we believe this booklet ‘has something for everyone’ and will be a useful guide on how to work with the media for both the newcomer and the experienced.
