Breaking The News That Santa Is Not Real

[Treva Mitchell]

Your voice is one of the most powerful tools you possess and using the media is a great way to get your voice heard. The most profitable and often overlooked free publicity generator is the news release. A news release is a brief written summary alerting the local media about your business news and activities. News releases are not only great marketing tools but also far more credible and believable than advertising since they appear to come from an objective third party.

1) Media news often exaggerates, and may even occasionally lie. Consistently, every news source or anchor seems to say almost the same thing. Sometimes later, the facts seem to indicate that the real story was somewhat different. news cannot avoid covering topics with selective bias and/or selective indignation, which omits some news, and focuses on a limited number of topics.

The truth of the Gospel is about freedom, and it is available today just as it was in those times. The good 24h news of the gospel offers freedom from bondage, freedom from sin, freedom from stress and freedom from all the pressures of this world. And if you have freedom from these you have the one thing that this world cannot give to you... peace.

But there is so much more on offer in the gospel of Christ. He offers hope for a better life, both now in this world, and into eternity in a place where there will be no sickness, disease, death or any form of evil.

Name a news category. When you submit your blog to Google News, you'll be asked for the web address where your news stories are published. You probably won't be publishing all your blog posts in this category, but go ahead and name a category "News". This will be an ideal category to publish event announcements, webinar details, and press releases. If you have already started posting to your blog, find your posts that qualify as "news" and move them to this new category before submitting the blog to Google News.

"They ignore most banner ads. They ignore the online news fly outs on web sites. Click here! They click away from 'cover over' ads. They will sit and watch the 10- or 15-second ads that precede video.

With a strong headline and a good lead, you can pull the reader into the body where the real guts of the story are. The paragraphs of the body from an inverted pyramid, with the most interesting or relevant bits contained in the upper paragraphs and the back story or underlying information offered in later paragraphs.

For the most part news channels and TV Shows about news channels and radio stations are popular. The TV Shows that fall into this category are "WKPR in Cincinnati" and "Midnight Caller" to name a couple. There are others as well. Here again, it goes back top the title question in another form: how much of the "news" is too much? Some say that the "news" is not really that at all. It is always good to know what is going on in the world today, it just depends of how much of the same thing you are willing to deal with.
