[APCPress] Press survey

[Kelly Loverock]

Dear members of the press,

My name is Kelly Loverock, communications associate with APC. I’m 
writing because we are interested in your feedback on a short survey to 
help improve the quality of information we provide to the media. Your 
input will be of great help to the work that APC is doing.

I have included five brief questions below, or if you’d prefer I can 
give you a call (my skype id is kloverock). We’ve tried to keep the 
survey short out of respect for your busy schedule.


*SURVEY QUESTIONS*

1. What are three main things you look for on an organisation’s website 
when writing a story? (Feel free to include urls of websites you think 
are good press-friendly examples)


2. Do you use media sections or “press room” sections on NGO websites? 
If yes, in what way?


3. What makes you read a press release?


4. What are two things that would compel you to cover a particular story 
on information and communication technology (ICT)?


5. How useful do you find background information and fact sheets when 
covering a story?




Thanks for your time,

Kelly Loverock
