Done successfully, political engagement will strengthen the connection of your station to the communities you broadcast to.
!QAs in all forms of communication, knowing who you are talking to, how they think and what they want is crucially important.
When you are talking to your politicians, you need to be prepared to promote community radio.
Like with most other campaigns, a successful political engagement campaign will combine a variety of different strategies.
Partisan politics can be a vicious business and stations are right to tread carefully.
