This aligns with my usual refrain: generative AI tools might address 1 problem while causing others. This ripple effect is not part of the conversation with these tools already incorporated into electronic health records, emerging tech tools for sci comm, and in smaller public health departments

In short: If you use these tools to generate drafts, you'll have to go back and edit for readability, accuracy, and actionability. If you use these tools to edit for readability, you'll still have to edit for accuracy and actionability.

Ooo thanks! That looks super helpful

Do you have any orgs/resources on getting started with media training?

Excellent point, thanks! Media training is not my expertise, but related to this point is a digital safety toolkit I created. Helpful to do some of this prep work before really trying to grab the mic

Traditional media like a local newspaper are some solid options. But it's also clear we need to expand beyond that. For example, if the key issue impacts children, identify newsletters from parent teacher organizations who could feature your story.

6.) Share with the community. Identify media outlets or partners who can help get out your message. This could include posting on your own channels like a blog, newsletter, or social media
accounts. Developing a communications plan to outline the right channels and partners to amplify the story.

Sidenote: I used Op-Ed Project resources to write and pitch and publish pieces in the past. I recommend their approach: www.theopedproject.org/resources

5.) Write your piece. Once you have identified your people
and story, start writing. Consider
starting with the big picture—what is public health and
why does it matter—and then connecting that mission
to your local issues and community

4.) Plan for action. Start drafting your outline with your
end goal in mind. What do you want people to do when
they read this story? For example, do we want them to
prepare for service cuts, advocate for change, or share
information with others in the community

3.) Humanize your list. Who are the
people impacted by these changes—both within your
organization and within your community? Identify people who you’d like to speak with and feature in a human interest story or co-author an op-ed.

2.) Map the impact across your
community. Where do these changes shift
health services or resources in your community?
There might be immediate changes that you can easily
quantify and longer-term consequences that require
approximation. When possible, use data to support
your impact narrative.

1.) Outline the changes. Since the start of the year, what
changes has your agency or organization experienced?
Consider budget, staff, and programs. When
brainstorming this list, be sure to include perspectives
from across the team.
