I would reiterate a point you made near the end. Christian leaders should take the INITIATIVE to contact local radio stations and newspapers for interviews. Many media outlets are eager for fresh, local content. Consider requesting an interview to discuss current events, ministries your church is hosting, a book you’ve written, a conference you are organizing or even a sermon series you are preaching. If you get an interview, be sure to avoid presenting yourself as a salesperson. Try instead to entertain (in the most modest sense of the word) and inform the audience. In other words, make the interview worthwhile for the listener or reader.
