What they are saying...

User-Friendly User Guide

"The Media & You is that perfect little resource guide that does what it is intended to do --to provide the novice subject matter expert (SME) with a user-friendly media guide to navigate through the media maze and to provide more experienced SMEs with a refresher on 'keeping it simple.' It's a 'must have' for our media training."- Leslea Bennett-Webb, Director of Communications, Oklahoma State Department of Health.

Easy to Read, Small Enough to Carry

"I have found the guide to be extremely helpful for my own use or when I am giving tips to someone else who is going to give an interview. I use points from the guide when I give communications trainings and I always refer people to it as a resource. It is easy to read and small enough to carry with you." - Nicola Whitley, Public Health Emergency Preparedness Public Information Specialist, New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services.

A Valuable Resouce

"The Media & You is for public relations professionals what 'The Elements of Style' is for writers --a valuable resource that you rely on again and again. Thank you, NPHIC!" - Ken August, Chief, Risk Communication, California Department of Public Health.
