I may have missed this - what was the time frame for this data?

This slide answers my question. Thank you!

Jan 2020 - late June 2021

Hi Stephanie - you can see the timespan on this slide

Thanks!

Was the Critical Race Theory dialogue in TN and when was that a focus?

Interesting that Marta Aldrich is the top reporter, but Chalkbeat is not on the outlet list.

That’s a good point!

That makes sense

Thanks!

Important to know that reporters often record you when they call.

Important with legislators too

Really like this example from GA: https://www.savannahnow.com/story/opinion/2021/06/13/gov-brian-kemp-among-elected-leaders-attack-critical-race-theory/7633911002/

High Trust - Low Stress, another way to say SEL

How would you recommend gaining new followers to social media?

Any tips on informing an audience who isn’t well informed on a topic? ie. School funding?

Do you have demographics on who uses which media for state of TN and specific communities?

Facebook and Twitter

Thinking about positive vs. negative stories. Negative stories appear to get more traction, but if we are trying emphasize positive coverage around education, what are some tips for getting traction/engatement?

Thanks Ashley!

racial - age - and income demographics would be helpful

Yes, this is helpful. Good perspective on how to strategize to get a positive story out there.

This has been a great talk!

Thank you!

Yes, thank you!

Thank you Rally!
