Contacting Media - NEXT STEPS.

[dmj2012]

Hi all, Glad we were able to meet. I was asked to keep up with the contacts and communications with the media. If you have or if you do connect with the media, please let me know by emailing: [e-mail].

Provide the following information:
- News station/newspaper/ or other media organization name that you contacted
- who you spoke to or emailed
- what day you communicated with them
- synopsis of the conversation or a copy of the via email you sent

Please cc the admin to this board when you send your information to me. If you are shy about connecting with the media, don't worry. Tomorrow I will put a few speaker points for you to at least start with.

The more of us that do this the better.

Take care.

This is so important! Thank you for volunteering to head our efforts. Media is probably one of the most important aspects in all of this. So, again, THANK YOU! It has been amazing to see how much everyone cares about all of this. Makes you think....for every fraudulent, manipulative, sleazy and lazy person like the employees of Boydell....there is another intelligent, caring, honest and hardworking person like you and the other tenants in this building! Thank you one last time for doing this!

You do not have to use all of this information, but I think it is a great place for all of us to start.Let's make this the week when we say to Boydell that you cannot do this to people and you definitely cannot do this to Detroiters.Email me if you have questions: [e-mail]

[dmj2012]

Make it a point to call and email at least two news organizations this week.

Currently we have two people who have contacted media. Yippee! The more the better. Let's make this happen.

You could also contact the blogs, Curbed Detroit is a great place to start at detroit.curbed.com and curbednetwork.com/contact. they could get the ball rolling so to speak.

[dmj2012]

I contacted all the major stations and planned to do follow up on Thursday. I will certainly add this to the list. I hope others are doing the same.

Thanks!
