Getting the Message Out: A Step By Step Communications Guide for Environmentalists
This handbook is a joint project of the Sustainability Network and IMPACS: the Institute for Media, Policy and Civil Society. The guide is designed to help environmental groups focus their communication efforts. The work that environmental groups do, preserving our natural heritage for future generations, is hard, time-consuming and often difficult to communicate. Groups struggle with limited resources, competition for media attention and publics pre-occupied with important and pressing issues of the economy, health, social welfare and education.
Through exercises, worksheets and basic communications theory, this handbook will help any environmental group bring that focus to its communication efforts. We hope this handbook will help environmental groups and environmentalists tell the story about the critical work they do, in preserving our natural heritage. It's an important story, and one that should be heard.
