How to get Media Exposure for your Group with The Cincinnati Enquirer

Julie Zimmerman, opinion writer for Cincinnati.com/Enquirer, will discuss how the region's biggest media outlet decides what to cover. Learn more about the news process and how to make your voice heard, especially on the opinion pages via letters to the editor and op-eds. We'll talk about how to decide what topics to write about, how to make a submission, how to write for a news audience and how to work with journalists effectively.
