IW:LEARN Comms Lab VII

The session will open with Hilary Clarke, journalist at FAO, who will share insider tips on:
- Identifying the right media outlets
- Preparing a solid media contact list
- How (and when) to pitch your story
- What not to do when approaching journalists
- Selecting and preparing interviewees
- Scoping for TV and video opportunities
In the second half, a panel of field journalists and communicators from the GEF International Waters community will share their real-world experiences pitching stories to national and international media: what worked, what didn’t, and what they learned along the way.
Whether you’re a project manager, communicator, or technical expert, this webinar will give you practical tools to make your stories newsworthy and your messages heard.
