| Social Health Network @socialhealthnet Question #1 for #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/kOYkTAw3zA |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio A1. When drafting email pitches, be personable, short-winded & compelling. Provide the need to know info, but leave them wanting a little more. For TV—share possible interview options & visuals. Bring the story to life. Make yourself readily available. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/ejBHZxXuQK |

| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon @nataliesparacio A1 How about choosing an intro that resonates with current events & trends. Something that grabs their attention. Tough Q! We all need help with this! #WEGOhealthChat |
| Social Health Network @socialhealthnet RT @nataliesparacio: A1. When drafting email pitches, be personable, short-winded & compelling. Provide the need to know info, but leave them wanting a little more. For TV—share possible interview options & visuals. Bring the story to life. Make yourself readily available. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/ejBHZxXuQK |
| Brooke Abbott aka The Crazy Creole Mommy @CrzyCreoleMommy A1. I create a deck or a one sheet of information. I don’t put everything in one email.

| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 RT @nataliesparacio: @abrewi3010 Yes, be conversational in all your correspondence. #wegohealthchat |
| Barby Ingle Official @BarbyIngle A1. Do research on each media org before you pitch them, dont pitch a dog company health stories unless they are pet related. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/U8NWvve855 |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Yes, you want to tell the who, what, where, when and why in the lead of the email. Cut to the chase. Attention grabbing email titles and intros are key. #wegohealthchat https://t.co/sUEoWhlb1o |

| Julie Anne Eller @JulieAEller AI | Remember that you are the expert in your experience. Your authentic voice is crucial to raising awareness and breaking down barriers for people in your chronic community. #WEGOHealthChat |
| Social Health Network @socialhealthnet RT @nataliesparacio: Yes, you want to tell the who, what, where, when and why in the lead of the email. Cut to the chase. Attention grabbing email titles and intros are key. #wegohealthchat https://t.co/sUEoWhlb1o |
| Cathy Chester @CathyChes A1; Bunch of blogging friends got free trips to review a cruise line. I pitched them from disability angle. They said no! #wegohealthchat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Yes, your story humanizes the pitch. Reporters want people-focused stories. Use your experience and journey to get the attention. #wegohealthchat https://t.co/rgUcvdRJg0 |
| IBDMoms @IBDMoms And she’s our #IBDMom extraordinaire! If you are interested in advocacy, there’s a great chat that some #IBDMoms are participating in right now with @wegohealth . Follow the hashtag #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/nieasTOZNr |
| PatientOrator @PatientOrator @abrewi3010 Agreeing with this all the way! Using your own narrative is essential to standing out, as most people tend to use the same rhetoric and buzzwords #WEGOHealthChat #WeGoHealth |
| About IBD: Amber-Writer, Journalist, Podcast Host @aboutIBD RT @CrzyCreoleMommy: Hi! I’m Brooke an #IBD patient & advocate from Los Angeles. I’m a @wegohealth advisory board member , founder of #Crazycreolemommylife & co-founder of @IBDMoms ! #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/z12n6jnUOy |

| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Thanks a great idea! One pagers and making the info readily available, in an easy to understand way helps a lot. Do the homework for the reporter. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/7Un5Nl91QA |
| About IBD: Amber-Writer, Journalist, Podcast Host @aboutIBD RT @CrzyCreoleMommy: A1. I create a deck or a one sheet of information. I don’t put everything in one email.

| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio YES. All of this. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/z1vJv1PN6O |

| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Q2. Any tips for calming your nerves when on camera/participating in media interviews? #WEGOHealthChat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 RT @PatientOrator: @abrewi3010 Agreeing with this all the way! Using your own narrative is essential to standing out, as most people tend to use the same rhetoric and buzzwords #WEGOHealthChat #WeGoHealth |
| PatientOrator @PatientOrator @nataliesparacio Excellent insights 👍 taking notes #WEGOHealthChat |

| Ross @Rossco006 @KenRayTaylor @BarbyIngle Hey Ken! Looking forward to finally meeting you at #HealtheVoices in a few weeks! #WEGOHealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio A2. Try to forget the cameras are there and tell the story as you would share it with an elderly member of your family. This will force you to talk slow, explain your mission clearly and sound genuine. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/Ghhcur8PEK |
| Angela Cohen @angelee828 RT @nataliesparacio: A1. When drafting email pitches, be personable, short-winded & compelling. Provide the need to know info, but leave them wanting a little more. For TV—share possible interview options & visuals. Bring the story to life. Make yourself readily available. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/ejBHZxXuQK |

 | KelsRACHA 켈시 @kelseyhardstone RT @nataliesparacio: YES. All of this. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/z1vJv1PN6O |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 X10000 uniformity works for printing t-shirts, not for patient storytelling. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/14WiXqQo33 |
| Brooke Abbott aka The Crazy Creole Mommy @CrzyCreoleMommy A2. Go in prepared with some answers ready (if possible) and then you can just expand if you have time. Practice talking in the mirror. Don’t talk about anything you’re uncomfortable with. Have a conversation. Talk to the person, not the camera. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/SdN1EVYcPc |
| Ross @Rossco006 @aboutIBD Hi Amber! #WEGOHealthChat |
| Danny van Leeuwen @HealthHats A2 three deep breaths #WEGOHealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio @HealthHats Yes! Deep breaths helps pace your voice. Remember reporters are just people...like you and I. #wegohealthchat |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon @nataliesparacio A2: Great advice. Preparation is key too. #WEGOhealthChat |
 | Whitney Petit @CfEpilepsy RT @wegohealth: If you've struggled with getting your story out to the masses, hopefully after today's chat you'll have some ideas to put into action! And with that, take it away @Nataliesparacio! #WEGOHealthChat |
| Social Health Network @socialhealthnet Q2. Coming at you! #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/SA9s83j1s7 |
| Barby Ingle Official @BarbyIngle A2. I have my husband interview me over and over and over before the interview, so that when the actual interviewer asks, its burned into my memory and easy. Its not so easy the process @KenRayTaylor puts me through, so its easy when its lights camera action time! #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/PpTvQcFSJF |
| Claire Snyman @clairehsnyman @nataliesparacio #WEGOHealthChat A2:Remeber the reason you are doing this and that there is at least one person out there who life WILL be touched when they hear your message |
| Mary P. Pettigrew @pettigrew66 A1: I definitely need help too like @CathyChes said! #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/pIbHfSYbKd |
| Ross @Rossco006 RT @nataliesparacio: A1. When drafting email pitches, be personable, short-winded & compelling. Provide the need to know info, but leave them wanting a little more. For TV—share possible interview options & visuals. Bring the story to life. Make yourself readily available. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/ejBHZxXuQK |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio You are the expert on your story and your illness. Be prepared but trust that you are your own best advocate. Make the most of your time with the reporter. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/7UaAzrYt6p |
| Julie Anne Eller @JulieAEller A2 | If you've got a phone interview, it's helpful to sit in front of a mirror while you talk. Your reflection will encourage you to sit up straight, talk animatedly, and present your best self. Believe it or not, people can hear your smile through the phone! #WEGOHealthChat |
| Brooke Abbott aka The Crazy Creole Mommy @CrzyCreoleMommy RT @nataliesparacio: A2.

This will force you to talk slow, explain your mission clearly and sound genuine. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/Ghhcur8PEK |
| Danny van Leeuwen @HealthHats A2 take every opportunity to do it. For real, with family, in the subway #WEGOHealthChat |
| About IBD: Amber-Writer, Journalist, Podcast Host @aboutIBD A2. I try to remember that I’m the expert on the topic and that they want to hear what I have to say because of that. I try to be myself and not what I think someone else expects or wants. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/P3Y5HeAjgV |
| Brooke Abbott aka The Crazy Creole Mommy @CrzyCreoleMommy RT @BarbyIngle: A2. I have my husband interview me over and over and over before the interview, so that when the actual interviewer asks, its burned into my memory and easy. Its not so easy the process @KenRayTaylor puts me through, so its easy when its lights camera action time! #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/PpTvQcFSJF |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon @clairehsnyman @nataliesparacio And reaching one - just one person - is worth all the effort! #WEGOhealthChat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A2 take a moment and do some simple breathing exercises. Don’t over practice your story, take 10 minutes before camera time to just be. #wegohealthchat |
| Brooke Abbott aka The Crazy Creole Mommy @CrzyCreoleMommy RT @JulieEllerAF: A2 | If you've got a phone interview, it's helpful to sit in front of a mirror while you talk.

| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Please never ask for questions beforehand. You are doing yourself and the reporter a disservice. You want to sound genuine and not rehearsed. This is KEY. #wegohealthchat https://t.co/lI3mmplXWx |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski @nataliesparacio That’s the wonderful part; being able to help others ✨ #WEGOHealthChat |

| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Q3. It's easy to get discouraged, how do you overcome disappointment if you're struggling to gain media attention? #WEGOHealthChat |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski RT @nataliesparacio: Q3. It's easy to get discouraged, how do you overcome disappointment if you're struggling to gain media attention? #WEGOHealthChat |
| PatientOrator @PatientOrator A2. Getting out of your head. Think before speaking. Rehearsal the night before #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/dVZz7xr7V2 |
| Ken Taylor, RPIC @KenRayTaylor A2: Keep your blinders on and pretend its only a conversation between you and any other person. Keep your thoughts together and dont get distracted. #wegohealthchat https://t.co/KC4D4wgCKR |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio A3. It can be frustrating, but try not to be disheartened. Think of this as a reason to rethink your strategy, brainstorm new angles & explore other outlets and options. Be mindful of showing how your story will benefit their viewers/readers/listeners. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/4th4wYEZrO |
| Leslie Krongold, EdD @Leslie_GHF A3: Keep plugging along and attend chats like these to learn more insights. #WEGOHealthChat |

| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A3 if your blog/content has helped 1 Patient then you have changed the world w/o the media’s help. That’s what advocacy is about anyway. #wegohealthchat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Yes--get the general outline of the interview--but you'll do much better if you answer off the cuff. The moment you have the questions you start writing answers and if you go off "script" it will jar you. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/dZUBkLnv6d |
| Social Health Network @socialhealthnet Q3: How do you deal? #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/yRDHmbyoKx |
| Social Health Network @socialhealthnet RT @nataliesparacio: Q3. It's easy to get discouraged, how do you overcome disappointment if you're struggling to gain media attention? #WEGOHealthChat |
| Cathy Chester @CathyChes @vrulon @bbhomebody Thanks. Just wondering how you edit, add music, etc. I don't have in iPhone! #WEGOhealthChat |
| Social Health Network @socialhealthnet RT @nataliesparacio: A3. It can be frustrating, but try not to be disheartened. Think of this as a reason to rethink your strategy, brainstorm new angles & explore other outlets and options. Be mindful of showing how your story will benefit their viewers/readers/listeners. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/4th4wYEZrO |
| PatientOrator @PatientOrator @clairehsnyman @nataliesparacio Completely agree. Regardless of how poorly I think I’m doing, I try to focus on the positive impact I’m seeking to create. #WEGOHealthChat |

| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon @nataliesparacio A3: Don't give up. If you're not heard, try again and again. #WEGOhealthChat |
| About IBD: Amber-Writer, Journalist, Podcast Host @aboutIBD I don’t ask for questions and when I’m the interviewer I don’t provide them. It works better that way and allows for a responsive interview. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/zvsNnLEngS |
| Barby Ingle Official @BarbyIngle A3. Although, I also have a media agent I do pitch myself as well. I know that I am not a fit for every outlet or reporters agenda. If I am I am happy & appreciative to do the interview, but if not there are thousands of media outlets, I just go to the next. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/z2ZAhCRn4J |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 RT @HealthHats: A3 Laugh, the heck with them. Try again #WEGOHealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio People are not media experts who are viewing your interview. Don't beat yourself up if you pause or don't feel like you're doing a good job. You are your own toughest critic. The more interviews you do, the more comfortable you'll become. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/kASwtmuWSm |
| Ross @Rossco006 A3: My answer is to never give up and persevere. Find a fresh way or maybe step back to think about what you might do differently within what you are doing. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/thV8ekre6K |

| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio @aboutIBD Same here! Agree 100 percent. #WEGOhealthChat |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon @CathyChes @bbhomebody Now that would be a question for my son!!! LOL! Used to make videos at my previous company that way - but had media support. Apparently, though, it's easier now with apps, etc. #WEGOhealthChat |
| Julie Anne Eller @JulieAEller A3| Try keeping an Inspiration Box. I save the thank you notes, kind comments, and thoughtful messages that I get from folks in our community. When I'm feeling low and could use some motivation, I reflect on all the progress we've made so far. #WEGOHealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio That's a wonderful mindset to have. Just because you aren't getting bites from one outlet, doesn't mean another wouldn't love to share your story. #wegohealthchat https://t.co/fUz8rC06WI |

| Ken Taylor, RPIC @KenRayTaylor A3: You have to realize there is a lot of delayed gratification involved. Try and try again with another media outlet if you think your story is worthy. Someone will be waiting for your story. #wegohealthchat https://t.co/cWAqBxtKZy |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon @nataliesparacio Isn't that true with many things in life! #WEGOhealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio What a great idea! Celebrate all the wins--big and small. This goes for media and your own personal patient journey. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/401m093ROg |

| Mary P. Pettigrew @pettigrew66 @nataliesparacio This literally happened to me a few weeks ago. I over prepared notes & the interviewer went off script & I stumbled #WEGOhealthChat |
| PatientOrator @PatientOrator @BarbyIngle @KenRayTaylor Husbands are the greatest at this ☺️😁#WEGOHealthChat |
| Mary P. Pettigrew @pettigrew66 @CathyChes @vrulon @bbhomebody Cathy, I’ll help you on that. It’s so easy! #WEGOHealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio SO common. The same goes for reporters with live shots. Those who write out all the notes, tend to stumble when they go off script. You see it all the time. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/Qs47lkqpdA |
| Barby Ingle Official @BarbyIngle RT @PatientOrator: @BarbyIngle @KenRayTaylor Husbands are the greatest at this ☺️😁#WEGOHealthChat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A3 search out other advocates that have made it onto tv frequently. Ask what they did/didn’t do. Doesn’t have yo be in your disease silo, tv is a place for all patient stories #wegohealthchat |

| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Great recommendation. There is room for EVERYONE at the advocacy table. Work together--we all have the same mission--to spread awareness. It's not a compeition. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/Y5MoA1X1ur |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon @nataliesparacio How do you avoid that happening? #WEGOhealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio A4: Send your pitches before the AM and PM news meetings—typically before 9 am & 2 pm so the email is top of mind when assignment editors & reporters discuss their daily story. Know what reporters cover—do not pitch a health story to the sports anchor. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/nhw1nmO9R0 |

| PatientOrator @PatientOrator @JulieEllerAF Yes! Reflection is key and provides perspective. #WEGOHealthChat |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon @nataliesparacio A4: How about back to my previous comment - aligning with current trends of interest, getting to know reporters (online) on what resonates with them, dialogue online #WEGOhealthChat |

| Barby Ingle Official @BarbyIngle A4. Send thank you's after the interviews you do get. Write them after another report that is on a topic you can speak to or have a personal story about to say thanks for covering this topic, and if you need a voice in the future, I am always willing. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/W8PXwYCNwk |
| Social Health Network @socialhealthnet @bbhomebody @nataliesparacio She knows her stuff! #WEGOhealthChat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A4 Dad was a one star general at local military base. Reporters know him so I introduce myself as his son. Initiating conversation is key, kind of like dating 😜 #wegohealthchat |

| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio The key is not to have a script. Have some bullet points/talking points. But, trust you know the story you are going to share. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/1DbEKeLjFZ |
| PatientOrator @PatientOrator A4. Perhaps by finding common ground? #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/T6Hk9WfFSY |
| Brooke Abbott aka The Crazy Creole Mommy @CrzyCreoleMommy A3: I think growing up in Hollywood, helped me with disappointment. I really try to think of my advocacy as a business, even though it’s personal, I’m still a brand. They are still a business. It’s not personal.

| Julie Anne Eller @JulieAEller A4 | Consistency is key- building a relationship as an advocate requires dedication and consistent outreach of quality messages. Lay the ground work and make your introduction early and often so that when the story breaks, you're their first call. #WEGOHealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Absolutely--just as we can turn down interviews if they go against our brand. It's a two way street, folks. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/xhXeLyRgeA |

| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A4 be a source for a reporter for other patient advocates. For example if it’s #narcolepsy month point them to @RemRunner. If it’s rare disease month give @bbhomebody name. Help each other. #wegohealthchat |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon @JulieEllerAF Great advice. Thank you!! #WEGOhealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Yes. This is a fine line. Don't inundate the reporter with a million emails or calls. If you email and don't hear back...give it a few days. Don't hound them. Trust me, if they want to do a story--you will hear back. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/2DbCw31QhP |

| Angela Cohen @angelee828 @nataliesparacio I’ve never been in an interview w/media, but I’ve been interviewed by GI physiology med classes (recorded). Both years I told my story then they asked ?s w/o a script. IMO it made both them and me more comfortable. #WEGOHealthChat |

| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Q5: How do you decide which outlets and reporters to target? #WEGOHealthChat |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon @abrewi3010 @RemRunner @bbhomebody YES!!! Sharing your rolodex is such a great strategy!! Heard a quote recently: "meeting the right person at the right time can result in life changing opportunities" via introduction or otherwise!! #WEGOhealthChat |

| Cathy Chester @CathyChes @pettigrew66 @vrulon @bbhomebody Really? That'd be great! #WEGOHealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio A5: Check out reporter bios online to see what areas they focus on. Connect with media on social media, start conversations, share their articles and stories. Rather than being a thorn in their side, show how it can be a win-win for both of you to collaborate. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/Z8wPJfaiCF |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio @lisadbudzinski As a former morning news anchor, I can tell you donuts do wonders for the early morning crew!! #WEGOhealthChat |

| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio That's smart. You can pitch your story/introduce yourself to health reporters--just so they know you are there. Then, when the time comes where they need a patient expert, they know they have you in their back pocket. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/CRD9b2dVe9 |
| Lisa Davis Budzinski @lisadbudzinski @nataliesparacio 😀 it truly does! Isn’t it wonderful how a doughnut 🍩 can put a smile on someone’s face✨ #WEGOHealthChat |
| Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon @nataliesparacio A5: Another tough question - and my experience has been mostly with print/online media interviews for an article - I would say: 1) reach, 2) subject matter that relates to my topics/expertise, 3) outlet aligns w/values & passions, 4) friendly approach #WEGOhealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Location, location, location--start local. If it's TV, they will want you to be on camera. Don't pitch TV unless you are wanting to be interviewed. For podcasts, radio and newspapers your location does not matter as much, but can help in smaller markets. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/IfrDFpvsKg |
| Mary P. Pettigrew @pettigrew66 RT @nataliesparacio: Q5: Q5: How do you decide which outlets and reporters to target? #WEGOHealthChat |
| Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 A5 national press is usually sexier & more intriguing but policy happens locally. My story is more relatable to my local officials than in DC. #wegohealthchat |
| Ken Taylor, RPIC @KenRayTaylor A5: Look for what the media outlets are reporting and see if your story fits into there agenda as much of the media is agenda driven. #WEGOHealthChat https://t.co/b8raPnBhZw |

| Julie Anne Eller @JulieAEller A5 | Use your resources. Consider following the health reporters in your local communities on Twitter to get a sense of what they write about. You can "get to know them" online and tailor your message to their interests. #WEGOHealthChat |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio National press is great--but can be tough. Start w/your local market, often times local affiliates share stories with networks--and if the story is compelling enough, it will gain national attention. Social media gives stories legs--you can prolong the exposure. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/CBEe5W68qN |
| Natalie Hayden @nataliesparacio Yes. For instance, if a local channel tends to share stories about people in the community making a difference...and the other tends to be sensational and all about crime. Target the channel that focuses on people stories. #WEGOhealthChat https://t.co/Z8iIJ8mtER |
