Nice article
I don't think I'm alone here in monitoring press articles about
gliding - I like to identify the elements that make the story 'work' (in particular the ones that capture the things i enjoy about gliding). This one's a good one I reckon. Low on the fear/challenge factor and high on the accurate information factor. http://durangoherald.com/sections/Ne...ing_with_ease/ smith |

A local magazine just ran the following article on my soaring activities. The writer added a few words to fill up the pages. There were a few goofy remarks because he had never even seen a glider operation. On balance we got some good publicity out of it! Lane XF |

Great stuff. Seminole Lake Glider Port in Clermont, Florida is about to be featured on a local TV program called "Florida o a Tankful." One of our local pilots is heavily involved in a local cable company and has some input into this program.
I'm sure that most areas have some sort of local special interest programming and they might be looking for stories such as local glider schools and operations. I've lived in this area for 25 years and learned of the local gliderport by accident late last year. The news media is a great potential source for the growth of our sport. Walt |

Walt -- Walt Connelly One can only hope for a continued drumbeat of exposure from the media. I think this may be happening as one outlet sees what another has done. Good stories tend to self-propagate. In advertising speak, when everybody is covering the story, you have achieved a "Buzz". We need to achieve a "Buzz". Go talk to your local media outlets. Most are starving for story material so they're prepared to listen to your pitch. Bring a copy of Val Padget's "Media Kit" which is available from the SSA.
