This publication was created primarily to assist advocates working to end domestic violence however it can be adapted for use by advocates working on related issues.

Its sections focus on: preparing a media list, preparing for interviews, responding to media stories, generating coverage, and how to place a public service announcement. Appendices include a media terminology list, a sample media alert, a sample op-ed and a sample news release.
