The Fair Media Council has unveiled new tools and programs to help organizations working to rebuild amid COVID19.

FMC's Digital Toolbox provides data, tips and contact information for reaching local news media. Additionally, it offers easy access to coverage maps for local radio and tv stations, to enable local organizations to make informed decisions on where to best promote their products and services.

DIGITAL TOOLBOX

To help land media interviews, inside the Digital Toolbox is a Source Book, filled with experts from various industries across Long Island and New York City. Contact information, bios and photos are included to ensure quick and easy access for the news media.
