Welcome to Meghan’s Media Minute!

This monthly newsletter for our SCORE volunteer media spokespersons is designed with you in mind: to share updates, monthly media tips and recent successes. Thank you for all you do for SCORE!

Media Tip of the Month

WHEN BUILDING A PRESS LIST: 

Most cities have four local TV stations: FOX, CBS, NBC and ABC. Be sure to include those local affiliates on your chapter press list, along with PBS, Univision, Telemundo or any independent TV stations in your area.  

Media Successes: Shoutout to Volunteers and Mentors in the News

We're incredibly grateful to our knowledgeable group of SCORE media spokespeople and volunteers. Below are some recent media placements:

• Cheers to SCORE Memphis Chairman Gary Robinson for being featured in this NerdWallet article about how to find the right business coach. Awesome work, Gary! 

• Congrats to Marc Goldberg of SCORE Cape Cod and the Islands, who recently published this article featuring business tips from SCORE about the keys to selling and increasing sales. Great tips, Marc!
