The Media gets involved
We were able to get very good coverage from the media with the help of several of our members who knew the networking that must be done. Larry had a very important TV interview in a key noontime news report. Another TV station filmed the class and conducted interviews with Nancy and Larry for their evening broadcast. We did a live radio broadcast. The local newspaper had a Women’s Expo where we were invited to demonstrate for almost an hour. The newspaper also used the information under Coming Events and ran a free ad in a Community Service section of the paper three times.
Larry highly recommends that you prepare the interviewer with a press release and some frequently asked questions about TCC well before the interview. However, be prepared and focused for the interview because sometimes you will get some strange questions like, “Is TCC a religion?”
