Public Education in the Media - Fathers & Families employs an integrated marketing program to raise public awareness of the issues that are affecting fathers and children.
Our proactive strategy includes:
- Ongoing monitoring of local, regional and national media outlets to ensure accuracy and fairness in coverage
- Targeted responses to counteract misleading and damaging characterizations of fathers
- Frequent authoring of letters to the editors and op-ed pieces on issues of public policy regarding fathers
- Ongoing news development activities, including media release distribution, outreach to editors, reporters, and producers; and serving as a source in high profile news stories on behalf of fathers.
