Congratulations on your success in having your project funded by Western SARE! We encourage you to let your community know – and we’re here to help. Press releases can help you get media coverage that informs producers, Extension, researchers, and other interested people about the innovative work you plan to accomplish and why it’s important to agriculture in your area. If you’d like assistance writing your press release about receiving Western SARE funds, please contact Stacie Clary.
As your project has progressed, you have great plans for outreach and letting people know about the research you’re undertaking and the results. Time to get the word out! If you are planning workshops, field days, farm tours, or demonstrations, press releases can help you get media coverage and advertise your event among possible attendees.
We have more information posted about how to write an effective press release. You can also visit our Helpful Tips for Conducting Outreach for more resources.
Please be sure that any media work includes proper acknowledgement of Western SARE funds.
