Wrapping up our series on media, today we look at four more media relations essentials that can help you earn media coverage: Op-eds, letters to the editor; becoming a go-to resource for journalists; and convening an editorial board meeting. Along with the earlier parts of our series on media, these are tools you probably didn’t learn about in your MPH program or even a general health communication course. But they should be an essential part of your professional toolkit.
