From Facebook to Good Morning America with Sarah O’Donnell [Video]

From Facebook to Good Morning America with Sarah O’Donnell

1. From a goodwill gesture that was captured by phone during a cross-country race to being recognized on Good Morning America, find out the full scoop from the school in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, which has about 7300 students.
2. How do you take a story to the national level? Of course, it starts with a story that garners attention on social media, but then a little work must be done to secure the upper-level coverage.
3. The story started with a photo, but Sarah knew providing a video would be even better. Find out how she tracked it down, received copyright approval, and remained sensitive to all students involved in sharing it.
4. Sarah shares three key takeaways from this experience that every school communicator needs to hear. Make sure to listen to the end to note these key factors!
