Celina Ezpinoza dropped by to talk about effective communications with media today. Media and community communication is helpful in a robust CIT program, but can be difficult to navigate.

Effective use of social media:
Q: Are we bound to respond to the media and go on camera? A: No. Some reporters have negative priorities and always twist stories so it may be better to not go on official record with them, but rather release your side of the story via social media. If you feel negative reactions from the public that you did not comment posting on social media can help remedy the reaction. If you know a story will hit you can try picking a reporter that you like and who is fair to share your organization’s stance on the incident.
